Yea, Jake, your right they are pretty plain. But the same goes for the 00's an on. I guess it's safe to say, without foglights, it looks pretty boring. Got nothing going on down there.

Just think our style looks better. Call me crazy, but I also prefer my stock grille to any of the aftermarket ones. I have looked at tons of grilles, an still haven't found anything to get me away from stock.

I agree with Jeff 100%

I would never convert my 97 front end to the feminine looking 99-up style.

And here is my 97 Front end shot

o i'm not hating on the older one's either, but to each his own. teardrop foglights is a bit wrong but w/e. i like both styles of foglights, its just the bumpers that i think are fugly. and your grille does look pretty good, i had the old ugly big plastic bar haha

I think no more than 20s on any truck.
i love my 22s!

Here's my truck. Just finished the paint job and rebuilding the motor after coolant in the oil caused a spun bearing. Built motor ready for boost.
