After painting the trim all black last week, I got the esky rack and vent caps put on yesterday! Also got my chrome grill inserts today, but in addition to the main I want to take out the Z71 tow hooks and put in some inserts there too...Well Street Scenes sent the wrong size and now apparently don't make em for there.. so now it's back to the drawing board to find some cool ones that match:emotions122:

That is sick as hell man. I love the black and white theme. The only thing I would change is black out the tail lights to match better.

I really like the rack ends being black. It's different, subtle, and compliments the truck really well.

Went to the dentist..Got the grills put on yesterday. Took out the tow hooks and had to mod the bottoms a bit to fit. Shit I'm a poet and didn't even know it!
