The truck has a nice stance. Something I'm about to do to mine is replace my old style reflector headlights with the clear/crystal style Lightning headlights....it'll take your truck out of the dark ages.

IMO I would remove the side molding and the sticker on the rear passenger window, new lightning style lights, and I would do something with the badges (I don't know what though). Maybe paint the chrome black and the black grey or something. Love the newer style badges though

IMO i would put the stepside bed, it makes it look sexier lol, n if you were to keep it black and get rid of the chrome then black lightning headlights would look good, it all depends with what theme you want to go with, black, chrome, etc. the wheels look good, i wish i had a chance to get those when i was looking for some.

IDK man i really love the look of the bed you have on there now! And i would take a look around on craigslist for a 99-03 front grille and bumper! I see em around here all the time real cheap. there ia a comany called street sceenes that offers a lightning style lover valance for like 250.00 to 300.00 on amazon. If thats the way you want to go. But the truck looks sick dude i really like it!

With the bumper being black, I'd say black lights. If you go black the badge will need to be black too.
