Not bad. If you're going roof rackless and not doing too much chrome, I'd look for some color matched handles and just color match everything.

Esky mirrors are like my mirrors or Jacobs mirrors in our signatures. All chrome on bottom and color matched up top..


However, I'd leave yours as they are if you're going for minimal chrome though

I wish I could afford esky mirrors or the running boards. I don't want to do a lot of chrome and was looking for minimal ways to add to the handles. Was thinking maybe a LTZ grille with color matched surround. I haven't really stood back and looked at the truck since installing the handles so don't know what else to do with keeping costs down. Need to install my SLP tips soon

The back emblem is bolted on so if you do you will need to fill holes. Or you can switch to a Yukon one which looks a little different but has no emblem

Just a pic to show some change it's been through. From black mirror caps/handles and moldings to no moldings, chrome handles, and wrapped mirror caps

Keeps getting better. I like the smooth no molding look.

Loving the looks right now. Need Colormatched handles and another 1/2" drop in the rear

I don't even mind the 1/2" in the rear, looks fine to me...

Handles and front grille and you're good to go :thumbsup:

It's exactly a 1" off from being level. I figured adding a 1/2" drop would make it look just right without giving it a sagging appearance

wow... doesn't even look it

Some days it doesn't some days it does. Guess it just depends on where it's sitting. My ocd is really bad too and I like things to be equal lol or really close

Makes me feel good that you didn't notice the rake lol

And out of nowhere he drops the rims gauntlet. Now I know why you favored the dark tint Dubs. Nice choice. Loving the look! :rockit:

Ha! Well I've actually been on stocks for about a month or so now saving up to get the new to me wheels. Was trying to keep a secret only a couple ppl knew
