Alright, i've inherited the coolest truck ever to be in my family. A white 93 suburban. It's 2wd, has 162000 miles, but it kicks ass. I have so many things i want to do, but i dont know who to ask or where to go to have them done.
heres a short list of things i want
I want my tires to stick out a little, to give my truck a little more aggresive stance, how do i achieve this look? right now i have the stock rims with some 31" BFG All Terrains. I wouldnt mind some black streetlocks or somthin... suggestions!
I shaved all the balck strips off my doors and stuff, and the LAST one ripped some paint off, so i have to get it painted, but this is a good excuse to get everything whited out. I want the 93 grill, but white, and then maybe a speed grill or somthin. But it's chrome, and it's sort of bubbling, so do i jsut buy an unpainted replacement grill, or can i somehow paint the chrome one?
Along with whiting everything out, i need a new bumper up front, and a roll pan in the back to paint to match, unless i can paint the chrome ones white? what brands should i look at? a note though; there was an accident in the back, and the bumper is all bent and stuff, and the left barn door is a little quirky, takes a magic touch to open, we never got it fixed cause it still works. But will this affect the installation of a roll pan?
I want clear corners and tails, brands i should look into? and is there a way to upgrade my headlights and high beams to that cool "crystal" look that id be getting with the clear tails and corners?
And lastly, for now, Chrome Nerf Bars would look sick. Any brand suggestions etc.??
Thanks in advance, i can't wiat to start doing stuff!

Tickles, you're asking for a lot here. I would suggest that you keep your question to just one topic and then you might get more response. You're asking so many questions that someone would have to write a book.
Any tire shop will set you up with some wide tires. Also you could take some time and find another 'burb in your town that has a look you like and check out the tire make/size or speak with the owner by dropping a card on the windshield.
