I changed out the chrome grill surround for a black one this weekend. Can't believe how much of a difference it made! The billet grill really stands out now, since its not lost in a sea of chrome anymore. I also have another little mod planned but I won't say what it is until its completed!

There are more pics in my gallery, just click on the picture in my sig!

 

Looks good........but I'm partial to the chrome, as you can see in my signature.

 

they look sharp

 

sorry but.....what the hell does ghetto mean....those are some sharp lookin trucks.

 

OMG 99 Flareside - that is an insanely beautiful truck. I was in love with the original pic, but the black does draw the eye to the chrome - excellent change! Extrmely beautiful trucks for the both of you my god am I jealous. Hey - whats your address?

 

i guess the ghetto comment was edited ?.. hey 99 have you considered removing your mud flaps ???

 

I noticed you changed the corner lenses too. Are those 2002 Lightning corners on there now?

 

yeah...Wes had stated that they look ghetto....

Here's my ghetto truck

 

Looks sharp 99flareside!!!!!!

 

"Ghetto" is "jealous" spelled backwards…

Man I am seeing some FINE LOOKING trucks in this post!!!

99flareside, I too noticed the change to the Lightning corners. Was that to satisfy the law??

 

I have the crome surround, they are so nice..
I saw nothing wrong with the before pic?? looks sweet.
but its not mine both are nice.

 

I think i like the chrome a little bit better.. but not much! Nice truck 99flareside! my fave on this board.......

 

Now I know what my next appearance mod is gonna be.

The black looks great!

Later,

Thanks for all the compliments . There was nothing really wrong with the chrome surround, I just felt it was a little too much chrome at times. Then I found this one for a go price in the classifieds so I thought "hey a little change shouldn't hurt!" so I bought it. It will also compliment my next mod too! But fear not chrome lovers front/rear bumpers and and mirrors covers are going to stay!

ROUSHFAN-1, your truck looks geat too! I tried removing the mudflaps after I changed my grill but to no avail . I started on the rear and after I removed the two screws on the wheel well lip and the two plastic pins underneath, I noticed the rear side was riveted to some support bars, so I gave up for now. Was yours the same way? I really want them gone too!

deep6blue, I had the L corners on for a few months now, but the pics weren't updapted. I originally had regular (ebay cheapo) euro corners that came with the headlights but they were cloudy from the day I got them (check my gallery to see for yourself). It bothered me everytime I looked at them and another great deal from a fellow member and the L corners were mine! The fact that they are legal too, didn't hurt either!

 

99flareside,
Would you be interested in selling the chrome surround? I want to put it on my 97, I measured it & I think it will fit.
Let me know...

Check my truck !
