Lord willing, I am going tomorrow to buy the last of my paintable pieces for my 99 Expy. Dude a couple towns over has an 01 that was rolled but has good grill and rear bumper and black mirror covers. i am getting the front bumper off a co-workers XL this week. then i will drop the bumpers and grill at the paint shop and then wait impatiently to get them back and installed... i am getting excited about this. i cant stand chrome! lol

as a bonus i am picking up a set of those painted dark gray mini fender flares that i am planning on putting on there as well to give me a little extra curve on my lower body lines.

here is what i am working with:


also need to find that door trim in black too... hmmmm forgot about that! lol

 

Im really wanting to black mine out as well. Maybe after I see yours Ill get that push.

 

As soon as I saw the title of the thread I thought of that picture.

Subscribing to see the progress on this project.

 

Well I'm headin back now and I scored! $400 got me a butt load of parts. Gotta get everything painted up and ready to go. Also got a set of 01 seats to upgrade my well worn 99 ones.

 

remove the roof rack and just debadge the door molding

 

Thinkin bout doin the roof rack but I'm gonna buy the black insert for the door molding. Wanna keep that

 

are you going to smoke the tails?

 

Eventually (maybe phase 2) I will replace ALL lights with smoked housings. Money not there at the moment

 

subscribing

want to see the overall result

 

do werk son

 

well this project is slower than i thought... my paint guy is having to "work it in" and that is taking a while... i am however swapping on a black grill and bumper tonight off the XL so that maybe will carry me over temporarily... pics coming...

 

sounds good, you should get some black L heads

 

Some what?

 

black lightning headlights

 

Oh yea. Gonna add those eventually. The ones I want are about 250 tho...
