Added Some Chrome To My Truck


Recommended Posts

Posted

I thought I would post a pic of my truck after doing a couple of mods this week. I added chrome door handles, chrome mirror caps and the molded splash guards. The mirror caps were a pain in the rear to install. I spent quite a bit of time trying to get the old caps off without breaking, and eventually decided to just pry them off, breaking most of the tabs. The door handle installation went smoothly, except for the driver's door. I couldn't get the lock rod disengaged from the bottom, so I ended up pulling the clip and sliding the lock cylinder out of the handle before removing the old handle. Those of you who that have changed your door handles will know what I'm talking about. The truck has also been detailed using Zaino products.

Love my zaino cleaners and wax. Pricey, but worth the money and work!!

Thanks for the compliments. Anybody have a good suggestion for 20" chrome wheels that would look good with my combination? I was thinking something like these:

I haven't purchased aftermarket wheels in years, so I have no idea what a good price is. These are for sale on gmpartsdirect.com for $2558 +shipping. They come with Goodyear Eagle LS2 tires, TPMS sensors, center caps, lugs, and locks.

Go aftermarket. I got my Ultra "Lightning" 18 x 9's Made in USA!!! (I hated my Chinese OEM 20's), 285/65R18 Nitto Terra Grappler Tires (OEM Goodyear Eagle LS2's SUCK!!!), installed, balanced, lifetime road hazard and rotation/balancing, lug nuts w/ locks, Center Caps...and a Truxxx Leveling kit installed with alignment for the same money you would be paying ($2500).
