Oracle side markers ARE very nice. Just so expensive. I do want a Bo White TB. I'm not ever gonna get to the track enough to justify drag radials. Heritage grille would be sweet and then with taking the grille off I could finally put my front tow hook on. My tint is good enough for now. Not as dark as my last car but don't feel like re-doing it. ZL1 rockers make 5th gens look fat to me.
I'd say go Heritage Grille, and don't let miles scare you away from performance mods.. Vitesse is a nice cheap way to make your car scare anyone away haha..

We'll see.

I've been thinking hard about picking up a newer daily driver/people hauler. I've been looking at 03-05 Silverado as well as 03-06 Trailblazers.

My '93 Chevy is getting rough. Needs a lot of parts, paint is falling off, no AC or defroster, heavily mismatched parts and drivetrain, etc. I'm kinda ready for something that's all original again and comfortable.

Use the Camaro lol.

I wish I had the money to buy my neighbors raptor as a DD. That thing is a beast and a blast to drive. He's trading up to a 15 Platinum

If I ever decide to do it they will be done this way. So much better and while I kinda trust myself with a rattle can they won't come out as good

Or I'll get ZL1/1LE wheels...

Do you track often? They aren't much different from stock weight depending on tire size.
