They come like that from ebay. they are built into the new headlights he ordered, and it just so happens they only make those headlights with black bezels.

Personally I like the black look as long as its not overdone. The things I posted are mostly just getting rid of the chrome pieces and then some some adding. I don't like blacking out the taillights and that stuff but wheels, tint, stack, bumpers, smoked cab lights, and losing the chrome trim pieces and it should look damn good.

So should I go with black or chrome stack and wheels?

Here's the truck now

Looking at your headlights I can see a yellow reflectant (spl?) in the lateral part of the driving lights, did it come with that part or did you put it later? because all that clear lights I have seen doesnt have it, and till I understand its illegal to drive without that reflectant IDK.

That looks slick. What do you think of leaving the grill, door protectors, and roof lights but doing the rest

I say keep all of the factory chrome, but just don't add any.

You should do what looks good to you. I used to have a 93 LX coupe that was fast as hell but needed a paintjob, my buddies kept telling me to do this and that to make it look better, but I was more interested in the way they looked in the rearview. Just my .02

Door protectors and cabs are fine. Id paint the front part of the grill black to match the headlights.
