What's your favorite mod to the look and style of your (or somebody else's) truck? Please reply if your favorite is not listed.

I think de-badging makes the biggest difference. Then I'm a sucker for clearing the front lights, adding 03's out back, or candying/smoking the factory tails, and then shaving the tailgate handle and adding a rollpan to make the rear look smooth.

i like the look of the 03 lights on the 99-02 body.i also think a 2-4 drop just to level out the body with a cowl induction hood really suits those years well.i was never a fan of really overstated visual mods, just enough to clean the truck up a little.a rollpan on the rear looks good too.ive seen a couple of those year trucks around my place with the corvette appearance kit that has the front bumper and corvette hood.looks pretty sweet

Would custom wheels fall under lowering/raising? Also, what's this "roll pan" you guys are talking about?

The roll pan is an add-on body panel that takes the place of the rear bumper. Usually seen on lowered trucks, and a few that aren't.

I'd put custom wheels under the '20"+ wheels' choice. That's kind of what I was going for. I just assumed most people upgrading their wheels also go bigger. Just seems like that's how it is around where I live anyway.

THis is what my old roll pan looked like and now on my white truck also just white with red lights. I can't get my new pics off my CF card into the computer.


IMHO for the '03 up paint the upper valance and chrome the lower valance front bumper, get Escalade handles to match your paint and trim, remove the word badges and add a roll pan....... Then make it go faster than sh$^

That's kind of visual. Being fast enough to be unable to be clearly seen...

I just threw up some pics of the new mods on my Car Domain site. Check them out.

Nice! That chrome on the front looks way cooler than I thought it would when you mentioned it.

wheels, shaved tailgate and badges. I think drops and lifts constitute visual as well.

i think it should just be custom wheels, not 20"+. Not everyone's into big wheels.

Yeah, seems like that's turning out to be the case. Like I said, around where I live, I never see any normal-sized custom wheels to speak of, they all seem to be huge. Some of them are butt-ugly too...

I've seen people selling them on ebay saying they will fit 99-02's with a little modification. What does it entail? Is it the mounting, or just the plugs? I'm still not sure I want to lose the amber back there, just kicking the idea around.

when they came in it was pretty much a direct replacement the only thing is that you need to file down the tabs on the tailight housing so the bulbs can fit tight inside. there is also another hole for another light down at the bottom, i left that alone although, I would like to hook them up i would need a 03 harness.... on a side note notice the red frame around my tailights???? one day a friend came by my house with a newer silverado and his frame was black, look to get those i think they look better ..... I wonder if someone could photoshop mine
