I would say a Stainless exhaust tip ( weld on from Summit are only about $25-30), a snap on chrome grille ( I know may sound cheap, but my dad's has held up great for 2+ years and makes a world of difference. upgrademyauto.com), Painted to match door handles (paint yours or find a set on ebay), Chrome mirror caps ($50ish on ebay), and wheels, but those won't be cheap

If you are a fan of debadging, some are some are not, you can do that. I took the Z71 stickers and all emblems off my tailgate. I think it cleans up the look a bunch. Some like the emblems and that is great too, to each their own right? :lol:

No holes at all brother. The 4x4 stickers peal right off with a little bit of heat. The rest of the badges need some heat and some elbow greese. Most take fishing line or something that won't scratch the paint to get behind the letters. Once the letters are off be very careful to peel off the adhesive tape behind them. I use my thumb, a bit of adhesive remover, and some heat. The I use wax and a microfiber to rub off any excess. Make sure the truck is COMPLETELY clean. Do not rub hard and take your time.

 

Start on something small to get the idea. Heat is your friend but DON'T use too much. Just enough to loosen the grab of the sticky stuff.

 

Everyone really has their own way of doing it, but dont use anything that could possibly scratch the paint. Key is to take your time. It sucks but man I think it looks great when it is done. GOOD LUCK!!!

Debadge, remove lower front valance and colormatch the GMC grille emblem. Thats some pretty low cost mods that will really improve the look of the truck. I know wheels aren't cheap but if it's in the budget then do that too.
