fill the holes in your bumper from front plate. the gap around your bumper, front quarter panel, and headlights dont look right. i would also shave the door handles.I would put some kind of metal ring around your exhaust, right now from the pics it just looks like you cut a hole in the side . other than that i really like the truck
(just thought i would give you a few idea's)
edit just read whole thread. so ignore comment about exhaust. but i would also fill the square holes in the bed. its the little touches that complete a vehicle for me.

Roll pan? i agree, SS style bumper and a roll pan would set it off.. only problem is, then you lose your tow hitch and that would mean color matching..

Hmmmm...Tempting but not so much what I'd consider a fair trade! 
All ideas are appreciated!!
- Filling the holes in the front of the bumper was my fault, I completely forgot about it...
- Your observations about the bumper being mis-aligned are spot on, the body shop I went to, although decent/good at paint, really SUCK at reassembly. I won't get into details but there are a few things I am gonna have to drag my welder out and fix, most notably the bumper brackets, as they were not welded on correctly. (the front is from an HD)
- Shaving the handles would be
Actually here's a photoshop that a buddy of mine did...Shaved handles, slammed, tinted headlights
However if I did the handles than I could not run at the track, and believe it or not I'm trying to get this heavy pig into the 9's.
-As far as the bed caps/mounting holes, this is my daily driver and I use it to haul all sorts of crap and I still need the mounting points, otherwise I would of had those filled!!
Prior to getting the truck painted I started a thread/poll on PT.net about which was better, the SS bumper or the HD front end and the HD front end won by a 80 percent. I'm actually trying to sell the SS cover that I have...interested!! 
They have hidden hitches that hide behind the license plate of a Roll pan. It was an option that I ended up passing on, although at first I had planned on doing a roll pan.

I had an SS cover on my Sierra and it looked really good imo...
And when I first got this RCSB I bought a SS cover thinking I was gonna do it again, but when the time came to choose between SS and HD I went with the HD front end.

IMO, the SS covers look best on the 03-07 "cat eye" silverado's.. never was a big fan of em on sierra's.
