Been feeling like my truck is starting to show it's age at almost ten years old.
I am looking at some different stuff to spruce up the look. These are just some Ebay specials, not sure if they would look like ass or not. Thinking about painting my bumpers like Brian did (hondarider) on his truck too.

I almost bought that set, but I ended getting the crystal clear lights with hid's instead

IMO the lights are a little cheesey but im all for color coding the bumpers door handles mirrors i even did the on star and xm antenas The crystal clears with hids would be cool otherwise i love the look of the gmc the way it is,othewise find a set of Denali headlites and install those also a nice look. just my oppinion

They kinda look like Denali headlights. Might look ok.

Do what you want to....its your truck.

Yes they are gay lol

I second this motion. :gay:

I would get some new OEM units and put some 5k HID's in there if you don't have them already.

I am a large supporter of the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) mentality. It has prevented many of my things from looking too 'over-accessorized'.


EDIT: LMC Truck also sells the upper and lower plastic bumper pieces. They get faded by the sun after a while and new pieces make the front end look much nicer.

my factory original headlights are 6 years old and they arent yellow or hazy at all.

The sun don't shine there in ct

Mine are starting to yellow I was looking at some stock style but all clear headlights on ebay but wasnt sure how they would hold up my ebay tail lights are doing fine.

I also thought of getting the mothers head light restorer

Painting the bumper cap and doing something with the mirrors will make a nice difference, or there's always updating to the 03+ style front.

Thanks for the opinions, yea I kind of thought the "halo" ring deal in those lights looked cool but didn't know if the neato factor would wear off and I would hate them haha. I wouldn't mind finding some denali lights for cheap though, or factory originals. I did buy a yukon grill off ebay yesterday, the one with the cross bars in the middle all black. If it sux or doesn't fit well it was only 70 bucks and I will have a new garage wall ornament. I also don't think the cheapo black wheels help my case either but they were free and I will be going back to my Welds when these tires burn up.

I definitely like the HD grille better than the Yukon/ 1500 grille though. I put HD grilles in 2 of my 1/2 tons before the 03 year.

hahaa I bet you do Wes, or we could be my little donuts where your 40"s need to be. I think I just need to find some denali ones though, these one kind of look like euro trash/ricerville. Now where did I put that 12" tip....

I am going to check out and see what LMC has, thanks Steve.
