It's growing on me too! 
Edelbrock has a HUGE line of intake manifolds for our LSx cars/trucks. This one in particular is Pro-flo XT
Sweet! That's kinda what I was going for! "tough yet refined!" 
I bought the truck as a roller from a good friend and I built it myself, so that in itself was cheap. As far as the paint job, I got rear ended about a month ago by a text-a-holic, I decided since the truck was gonna be under the knife for a bit of body work that I would repaint the whole truck, so insurance covered about 2/3 of the costs and I picked up the rest. I would think a full paint job, done right would cost around +/- $8,000. But that's just a guess, I'm sure someone else has a better idea of what it really costs.

I couldn't belive they threw that stripe on the ACRs as it was a bit early 90s; and I didn't quite dig it in the first pics you posted. But I LOVED the rest.
In the daytime pics though it looks REAL good and I have one suggestion whether you elaborate on it or not (designer by trade though lol). Fill that narrow gap inbetween the stripes with a gloss or flat red to match those calipers and it will look RE-DICULOUS. Best looking truck I've seen in awhile.

Painted the door handles to match...
That's actually a pretty good idea! 
I'll look into it but I think I'm gonna sit on this paint job for a while, let it soak in before I change anything else.

one of the best lookin trucks iv seen. IMO i think you should put an ss front bumper on it. iv also seen rear bumbers that are flat with the tail gate. if you do both and make the strip extend all the way down i think it would be perfect IMO
