I like the wheelsbut don't like paying$$ for 18 inch tires. The headlights still look like they don't belong or fit as Kepler4 stated. I think they are disguised. The side view mirrors look like chevies (but if they are power mirror, convex and extend) I couldlive with it.

The headlights don't stick out, they wrap around the front bumper. No problem with aerodynamics. Also, didn't the first pictures coming out have the headlights as one long up and down assembly? These pictures have two separate headlight assembly's like the current Chevy's, only slightly redesigned. (I don't mean in shape, but in the fact that there are two clearly separeate housings.) I like this way better than the original pictures.

If the vents still exist, they may be covered up.
It looks like the grill is painted but, the bumper and sheet metal is covered by an adhesive backed plastic. Poorly applied too I might add.
When I copied the pic and zoomed in, I could see the wrinkles in the cladding. Notice the difference in the "camo" grill vs. sheet metal.
I don't see a PowerStroke tag on this one either.

I think it looks great. The mirrors look really cool too! They look a little updated from the current ones. I am glad that I dont see the nifty little side vent things though, im not sure about those. Not a deal breaker, but would need some getting used to.
