I am swapping out the chrome headlight doors and grille for black ones to match my new front black bumper. From there, I will reconsider if i want to swap out my clear roof lights for the smoked ones, but i may be able to keep them because I have the chrome around the windshield and behind the mirrors to help tie them all together. I will post pics once there all in and painted

It will look like the lightning but better cuz the lights are euro what you guys think? I may need to swap out the trim around the windshield tho and mirros if i like the black on black too much

i liked your truck black on chrome.. but the bumper is black so.. paint them black it will look killer.. :) you can paint the chrome srip of the window also it comes off
 
i think i'd like all-black, including the mirrors and windshield. speaking of the mirrors, on a truck like that you need the big "western" mirrors, or at least the bigger ones on the arm.

i went from the bigger arm ones to the little ones like you have and i can't stand them

Thank you guys for feedback, I am very excited for this conversion, I have had my fill of all the "bling bling", and want something less Honda Civic and more respectable, I will still have plenty of bling between the rims, side steps, headlights, roof lights, tips, and tailgate, so i think getting rid of some wont blind people as much coming down the road, and it will make it look more "street" if you will. Lol tomcat, these mirrors are a joke, but i do like how they look sporty, so because i am an idiot i would rather have a sporty mirror than actually be able to see, i remember when i first road the truck i thought maybe the mirrors had been damaged because they give such more visibility.
