Congrats on the new truck! I'm hoping to do a similar upgrade this summer, hopefully my dad's 2002 Silverado will make it's way down to me if he upgrades to a new truck lol. But I'm with MTopper on the visors, they gotta go!

Thanks guys.

Jimmy is at my dads but he asked if he could actually get anything for it the way it was. I told him "yea, maybe a few grand but not anything much unless I put some money in it". So, I mentioned buying it a little later on for $2000 and he didn't say no. Not yes, but not no either.

Sierra is awesome! I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Visors aren't coming off. I have a buddy that is certified DuPont Painter and he said they came out with a plastic adhesion stuff that is applied like a primer but chemically reacts to the plastic and makes it tacky. He said the paint will never chip as it would if I just spray bombed them. I'll get him to do the stone guard too just so it matches.

Other plans for it are...

HD towing mirrors with arrow turn signal.
CHEVY GMC TRUCK POWER HEATED SIGNAL TOW MIRRORS KIT on eBay.ca (item 290548198544 end time 21-Apr-11 08:08:15 EDT)

New Z71 decals. These without the flames behind. The ad ended of the ones I want but they are a store so they will be back lol.
CHEVY Z71 SKULL-FLAMES DECAL SET-CHOOSE YOUR COLOR!!!! on eBay.ca (item 320654516509 end time 09-Apr-11 11:36:27 EDT)

Clearance Lights. Simple LED probably smoked. 2 single outer and the triple light single housing middle ones.

Already have tires ready for it. General Grabber Red Letters. 33' and probably 11-11.5 width with wheel spacers.

AVS/GTO headlight and tail light covers. Don't want to tint them with VHT because it will be used as a work truck with my dads business so I need to keep a nice look. Plus I will take them off at nights.

I'm sure more will come to me but that all I can think of in this mind set. (work 3pm till 1 am then up at 9 am. Then weekend back to normal time lol)

Oh...and if someone has some free time to do up a Photoshop rendering for me, that would be awesome!

sweet new truck
as for the headlights, i would probably go with a aftermarket one with projectors and put in HIDs. this way its functional and looks good.
im not a fan of those snap on covers.

Brad, I see you're going with the lifted tow rig look eh? You'll have to crank and maybe get some blocks from a non-quad cab for the rear suspension to get rid of your "cali lean" you'll have.

Getting rid of those Dueller's is the best thing you can do... I ****ing hated mine
