I know its only 2 pictures at this point, but I still want to get some opinions on what you all think.

Its a work in progress, and the wheels are only a temporary thing. I had them laying around, and they are much better than the stock 17's. I fully intend on getting some black 20's - likely the MB Senna's.

The rear end has been lowered 3", stock front heigth.

As far as powertrain goes, I am all stock 4.8L with TERRIBLE 3.23 gears. I was quoted at $700 for 4.10 swap parts and labor, which I think will be my first modification. I have a summit super turbo muffler for now, which I hardly call a performance mod.

My goals are to run a low 13 to mid high 12ish range with a 4.8.

as far as appearence goes, i am pretty much done except for the 20's and then getting a roll pan to ditch that ugly chrome bumper, and maybe a billet grill. i already ripped that bigass gold bowtie of the tailgate, which looks so much better.

performance i am still up in the air. i have done H/C before, and i can do the labor no big deal, but i think i may wait for the magnacharger and slap that on there with some longtubes and mabye the gt2-3 cam and a 3000 stall. i think that should get me to my goals.

any recommendations, and what do you think of the looks thus far?

thanks!

Dont get 20s... anything under a 24 looks bad on the new trucks. If i were you id go to a salvage yard and buy 4 black spare wheels and use them... it would look kickass with black steelies

I wouldn't do 24s if you care about performance. Light 20s IMO. Personally think it'd look good with everything the same color black, (grille, lower bumper, handles, mirrors, etc).

i agree on having the same gloss black on everything that is flat black now - that will come some day.

i would never put 24's on my truck, 20s are as big as i would go, and even with 20's i feel like i am slowing the truck down, but to me its a good compromise.

get some billet 20s, they are lightweight

I like the all black scheme that your going for should look really cool. I still cant get over how high the nnbs trucks are stock, and the size of the fenders on that bad boy. But your truck looks really nice none the less.

loose the window flares, other than that your off to a great start!

looks good, just too much tire for my taste.

eh.. :blah:

i think the black w/ polished lip MB senna wheels, paint matched mirrors, handles and grill will really snap the truck together. right now i like the way it looks over stock by ALOT, but i am certainly not done yet.

I do like the blackout more them the "fun house mirror design" of the chrome on a lot of the '07 models.
