Thanks, I'm considering a big K&N sticker on the intake tube lol... It looks a little blank, I'm used to opening my hood and seeing "Vortec".

OKtain, it looks sweet. I put my CAI in last night as well. Shifts are smoother, and a nice rumble when you give it the gas. Which clear parking lights did you go with on ebay. There are many types. Do your yellow blinkers flash forward and on the side? I think they would look nice on my white truck.

the blinkers flash forward the yellow marker you see on the side of the clear signal lights is just a reflector.

ya, I was going to go with the LED's until I saw they were more than double the price of the ones I went with. I made sure the set I was buying had an orange reflector just so I didn't get bugged by the cops. Picked up a set of orange bulbs... p/n 3157LL.

What make of CAI did you get? Or just a cheap eBay one? I'll tell you now that with the eBay filter I noticed a performance LOSS. Filter looked good but definitely wasn't any good. The K&N made a difference. I wasn't expecting any huge gains so what I got from it I'm happy with.

Edit* I just saw your sig, didn't notice you had the K&N intake.

Yep, K&N. About $280 off Amazon. Pricey, but good performance. I used to have one in my Grand Prix and it did a good job as well. AS for the bumper lights, the LED also have a side marker, but not sure if its worth the price. I"d also like to get the blue dash/hvac lights as well. But since being laid off, $$ are a bit strapped. Got to look for the deals.

Wow, feels like forever since I updated.

Here are the pictures of my blue dash lights, finally got my DSLR out, my cell phone almost had a sepia tone to it at night lol.

I know about the bright spots, but the camera makes it look worse than it really is. It's tolerable and I don't feel like pulling my dash apart AGAIN. My 4x4 switch looks better now that I tore it apart (AGAIN) and repositioned the LEDs inside... one LED was blocking the 2HI button and I couldn't get it out of 4wd, lucky the top tabs broke on it at one point, I can just pry it out with my truck key and pop it open, 5 minutes and I was in 2HI again.





Then I waxed her a couple of days ago and dragged her up the mountain lol.



Pictures of my MacGyver'd sub mount to come this weekend hopefully.

Damn...that looks good! I'm thinking about ordering my LED's tomorrow. Do you find it hard driving at night with them?
