Default My DD want to change/mod it. ideas? pics inside

its an 06 sierra SLT fully loaded. I've got a 50 sieres flowmaster w/ a 3 1/2 inch Duramax tailpipe on it and also a k&n airfilter. I just got the front windows tinted to match the rears, they are 15%. I'm just looking for some ideas to make it look better, some give me some! here are some pics.

well black and chrome always go together...how about some chrome door handles, vent visors...Chrome plated billet grille just to clean up the front....sounds like a good start to me.

You already know you need some new wheels and tires. Might wanna look into a hood next. Watch out on the hoods tho, some people think the same design on cars work on trucks..

Chromed door handles and a wheel/tire package (like 17 inch truck wheels and some all terrains. Not the 22's and rubber band tires we see all the time now on 4x4's haha!)

It'll make a world of a difference!

It all depends on how money you want to spend on it. Obviously get some wheels and tires (20's or 22's IMO Black and aluminum or go for the mafioso look with all black with some 33's or get a body lift and throw on some 35's). I would also delete the pinstripe and door molding. I would also get black painted handles. Cut off the tailpipe so the exhaust doesnt exit out the side of the truck. Get an eyebrow or better yet tint the whole front window. Those would be my first steps if it was my truck. But to each his own. Good luck.

IMO stay away from chrome as much as you can ! I would go with a (6in) lift rims and some meaty tires and yea i'm going to say it a Ranch Hand grille guard............I know a alot of people won't like the Ranch Hand but owell. I got one on my 06 Z71 crew and after some jack I put the Ranch Hand to good use lol...... I've got many dents in my grille guard lol

It needs a pink or yellow paintjob.
-28" Wheels that look like teddy bears.
-TV's under the truck, facing down so you dont get bored while you work on it and ****. Um...
-A bubblemaker in the exhaust would be pretty sweet
-BIG racing numbers and the names of sponsors you dont have (ALL over the doors and hood).
-Add a whistle into your exhaust to simulate a turbo (It goes WHOOO WHOOO).
-Preferrably a yellow window tint.
-Perhaps even an Atari in the glove box, so the bytches can have something to do?
-Make the front doors so that they open lamborghini style
-make the rear doors into suicide doors.

Add about 1,000 worth of neons sporatically around and youre in business!

get rid of all the badges and moldings on the truck, it really cleans the side up, and the tailgate. and definitely a billet grille

depends on your money but maybe a small body lift so you can put some nice rims and a little bit of a bigger tire...body lift so the tires dont rub

Just leave it some what stock and put money into the camaro. I agree with the moldings though it would look clean with them removed.

This is what you do:
1- Debadge the Truck
2- Get a Rollpan to replace your back bumper
3- Put some 22's on it ( than SLAM IT! but thats me, but u should put 22's on it )
4- Put a billet grill on the front
5- Hid's in the headlights and foglights
6- Tint your tail lights ( not completely black, just a little it would look alot nicer)
7- Get a nice cowl hood
**If you plan to put chrome on your truck just dont overdue it**

Only thing I'd change about that truck are the wheels. Those factory rims do absolutely nothing for the look of the truck. Something bigger, and chrome/polished would be a huge improvement.

Dude thats a BADASS truck. Everything i could think of to make it look better has already been posted except a hood cowl. Yes they make nice ones for trucks. I know becouse i was gonna use my 93 Silverado for a prodject. But switching from carb to fuel injected cost way to much

Would get rid of the emblems, and would lower it (if it wasnt 4x4) but the truck looks great already!! I would just keep it clean, a nice set of tires (not even wheels) would make a big difference.
