My grill was painted black then sanded off by previous owner so i decided to paint it to match the body color of the truck. I am thinking of painting the bumper to match what do you guys think of the grill vs chrome and should i paint the bumper to match as well? The bumper was painted and sanded as well so its not like i would be ruining a good bumper.

Looks good man. I'd personally leave the bumper chrome, get some chrome grill inserts and paint the bowtie chrome but that's just me.

Do they sell smoked headlights if so where can I get a complete set including corners? T head lights that were on it when I got it looked weird to me they had a blue little light in the middle so I slapped them old ones in there for now.

black headlights are a no no. atomic got em, he said he couldnt see more than 10 feet in front of him. i would go for clear headlights, black parking and corner lamps. or to save more money, i would just pain the corner lights. i took the bulbs out of them so its unique to me

haha couldnt of said it any better. Buy some TYC headlights and not those cheap ebay ones where they fog up with water and all the other crap. TYCs in the long run will save you money and guess what!? you can adjust them unlike the ebay ones haha
