Opinions Needed
 
So I want to know what to do to my front end. I don't have much of a mod budget right now since I just bought a Hypertech Programmer, but I feel as though I either need to paint the chrome strip black, the bowtie, or possibly both. Heres my current front end look, and I will be adding lights to my guard eventually.

EDIT: Only thing I am not a fan of is the murdered out look- so no to suggestions of "blackout turn signals, chrome strip, and bowtie"

Well I blacked my bowtie, and it looks pretty good. Be sure to use Krylon. It's worht the 4 bucks.

I would personally paint the chrome strip black, too. But I like the murdered look.
But for turn signals, you should get the ones I got!

how would it look if you just matched the paint to the front?

I think the strip & bowtie should be painted the more I look at pictures. And where did you get those signals from? I like those a lot.

As in what CBR suggested in painting the bowtie and strip black?

Maybe paint the strip black and bowtie and calipers silver or red?

you should never of bought the Hypercrap its worthless. dont try to defend it its worthless. I can post up everything it trys to do to the pcm. a real tune is cheaper and does more.

as for what you can do, how about a cowl hood?

Phil 02-18-2010 09:54 PM

Spectre- I have to apologize because I'm about to sound like the noob that I am, but could you give me an example of what you're talking about painting? I'm easily confused and have been up for 24 hours. Insomnia FTW!

And I fooled around in paint. Ideas:

Wow- I did not do a good job on these chops haha.

EDIT:
Quick, appreciate the input, but a hood is not in my budget. Once I get my fog lights and exhaust put on I got to start saving $ for moving out later this year. I know PCM4Less could've gotten me a better result, but I know several people who had decent results with Hypertech. I couldn't pass this up for under $100. Again, I really appreciate the input, sweet looking Silverado btw :)

I like the black bar with the red bowtie.

btw, here's the turn signals. The only one I found selling the same ones I have on ebay.

I know, they rape you on shipping.

Sweet, added to favorites. Just going over the ad, and got a quick question for you- those are for models without fog lights right?
