Took them apart and painted the buckets. Don't know about you but my paint code is 926L Fine Silver Birch.

yo... do you have plans for the running boards that are on your hoe now?

Once I have the Escalade boards painted and installed, they are up for grabs.. They are a lil faded, right now I rub Back to Black on them and they look good but it doesn't last..

dammit I think I'm gonna order some esky racks and have them powdercoated, really smoothed out the roofline. I'm still not sold on the HD hoods for the gmcs, I think I want to see one in person first. Great upgrade for the chevys tho. Have you dyno'd the ** with the whipple yet?

Not yet. Actually haven't found a place to get it done at. I saw a GMC with an HD hood a few days ago at Cabelas but I really couldn't appreciate it because it wasn't painted to match the rest of the truck yet but they did a good job at trimming and bending back the sheet metal to look OEM. It was a red Kon with a white hood so the contrast made it hard to take in..

Any idea where you find or read the paint code? Mine's an '04 so it's possible we have different colors?

Check the glove box.

That's cool. I get noticed and people take second looks. I really like it.. I guess it depends for example, I've seen Hoes with roll pans and some look good some dont. Personally I'd rather keep my bumper and keep it uniform with the front unless there was a way to delete the front bumper

I think the HD hood looks way better than the stocker, but Chitstoso I do suggest a Denali matching bumper since you don't like the roll pan idea

Nice hoe. How hard was it to take off the door trim? Is it just held on by adhesive or are there holes behind it?

I've been wanting to take mine off but I'm hesitant.
