I have a 2000 Silverado ext. cab 3/4 ton with the 6.0l. I have removed all of the factory stickers, such as the 4x4 and pinstripe. I also have a small(don't want to look too redneck) red chevy emblem on the back window. My truck is black, so smoked head lamps would look really nice, but I have never seen any, and don't know where to purchase them. Thank you, and all of your trucks look really cool.

I've got a 2003 extended cab. It has white face guages, Delphi XM radio, liquid billet grill, chrome rocker panels fender trim and door handle covers, K&N air intake, and probably have a Hypertech power programmer III coming soon. Would also like to add exhaust to it, but have no idea which direction to go yet.

No big mods on mine yet.
2003 LS
Hypertech Programmer III, I stripped all of the decals and moldings off of it. Put the Escalade chrome interior and exterior handles on it, painted the exterior handle bezels to match the body color. Replaced the black face inst cluster with a SS whitefaced cluster, and replaced the grey inst panel bezel with the escalade woodgrain bezel.

Future plans are to relocate the t/g handle to the inside, put an alarm on it, and then some stereo. When money permits I will get some 20's for it.

The pic in my sig is from a few days after I bought it. I will have to take an updated progress pic of it sometime.

On my '01 Silverado 1/2ton ext. cab 4x4 I took off about every emblem and made some retro ones that resemble those off of a '57 Chevy. I have a JVC PICT MP3 player, Directed Video 10.5" flip screen/DVD system, Automate(DEI) 2-way alarm remote start, Directed Audio Comp X in a .3 cu/ft box running off a Directed Audio 1500d amp. That is finished off with a nice set of Directed Coax speakers in the back and 6.5 componets in the front. As for performance, I only hand made a Cobra intake/KN Filter system and descreened the MAF. I also tweaked the torshion bars too. :p
