Have you heard that some 02' have the chrome under the black/gray paint. Some people use I think mineral spirit to rub on a place you can't see to see if it chrome underneath.

thanks guys, looks better than i thought it would. was gonna do the 05 front end conversion but i dont want to part with that much jack right now with fuel prices being what they are. so i'm looking at other options. grille and 05 lights will probably be the way i decide to do it.

another question. if i do the front end level kit, what is the best size tire to run whithout rubbing? found some mickey thompson wheels for sale, one set is 17" and the other is 20".
