Fender vent: Rice or nice?

[serpa4]

What do you all think? To rice-burner-ish? I'd like the matching grill and front bumper inserts, but not sure if the side vent (aka Ford) thing is too much. I'd like a nice looking truck since mine looks just like everyone else's. However, I don't want to drive around with people snickering at me.
What is your opinion?

Those are nice, but also functional. I'm not willing to cut holes in my finder., yet With those large vents, it would very apparent that they are not functional on my truck and thus would look funny/cheap.

They work.

If it's functional, ....Just a stick on...well..

If functional=:rockon:

If not functional=:screwy::barf:

Just my opinion though.

Stick on. Or bolt if you like drilling.
I'd like something to dress up the side of my truck since its pretty booorrring.

I'm a 60's muscle car fan, thus really like chrome stuff. Wheels will be coming when the factory tires are turned into slicks.

I ordered the GM chrome strip:

Would like the fuel cap:

The bed rails would be nice if they fit under my truck camper over hang. I'd like this look with the bed rails and chrome strip. I already have the tubular steps

not always a bad thing.

I am a strong believer in less is more.

To each his own though.

The moldings and step bars will make a big difference.

I'd wait on the Escalade vents until after you do the moldings.

 

[serpa4]

Well, I swore to uphold the poll results. Guess the vents are a fleeting desire. Fuel filler door too geto?

I want these.
