finally got rid of the chrome

[ebxgsxr]

this site has helped me out plenty of times. thanks to MHARDERS (Manny). he hooked me up & got me some black handles so i could finally get rid of the chrome on my truck. i don't have a full shot of everything yet since i was in a hurry trying to get everything done before it rained.

before

new grille & mirrors installed

new handles installed this morning

Looks way better! Why'd you switch to chevy wheels?

 

[mharders]

HUGE improvement imo! What rain guards do you have in there? Glad your happy with the handles

manny, you don't even know how happy i am, lol. i hate chrome with a passion. thanks again man.

the rain guards are the in channel weather tech brand. my brother has them on his 02 & i liked them, so i got a set.

as for the chevy wheels, when i got the truck from the previous owner, he had some 22's on it that were in bad shape. i didn't want to go to the stock denali wheels, so i ended up putting the 17" GMC 7 spokes in the 1st picture. but i kept seeing the 5 spoke Chevy wheels that i liked a little better.

i think i want to try to plasti-dip them in black. i do have some left over gun metal wheel paint that i was also thinking of trying.

also forgot to thank Carcz for the rear door handle for the lift gate. got that installed this morning. and you were right, once that panel is off there is a lot of room back there.

Nice improvement....now swap wheels with that white Denali

 

[mharders]

I like how low profile those weather techs are. I have the wades in channel and the stick out quite a bit further. Looks like I'll be picking up a set of those too

i was thinking about doing this, but having it hydro dipped ... im just afraid of stone chips. Looks fantastic tho

 

[josueh95]

that looks 10x better and i really like those headlights and corner lights

but man if you hate chrome look how my tahoe looked when i got it jaja only thing left are to paint my bumpers and handles

 

[ebxgsxr]

[Caleb01Hoe]

[ebxgsxr]
