Default 2003 Chevy Silverado

I have a two tone 2003 Chevy Silverado. I am planning on getting new rims, tires, a lift, and a bull bar but I don't know if I should get chrome all or all black. Any suggestions?

I would do a 6" with 33s and 20s...do a mix match of chrome and black. too much of each would look terrible

I was thinking a chrome bull bar with black rockstars with nitto's would look pretty nice. Should I remove the body trim for a more clean look or leave it?

the moldin down the side? I'd leave it since it's color matched. but the rain guards off and if there's a bug deflector take that off...would you do more chrome than just the bill bar? or would that be it? they have the machines rockstars that are chrome and black

That might just be it, I don't think it would look good with alot of chrome. I would probably put chrome nerf bars, but nothing else. I don't like the look of machine rockstars.

I'd keep more black on it since it's a dark top...I'm not sure bout the nerf bars on a lifted truck...I'd do the 6" with Mickey Thompson atz tires on black rockstars(if that's what you want), and then get your handles painted and a billet grille..maybe black out the tail lights

I found a good deal on a set of pro comp black xtreme wheels and pro comp xtreme all terrain tires for a $1,000, but they are 305/65/17 and I think they will be too wide. Should I go ahead and get them and put a 2.5" leveling kit to make it have a bigger look to it with out spending all of the money.

with a 2.5" levelin kit it might be a stretch...it all depends on the offset of the rims. if they're negative offset it's gonna push the tire out like mine, if it's positive it'll pull them in, you'd want a positive offset if anything. they're roughly a 32.5" tire so if they rub a little with only a leveling kit then just add a 1.5" zone body lift to the mix, or get a 3" rough country spindle lift and that'll fix the rubbin issues

You should take the body trim off. I took mine off and it looks alot better

I just ordered the leveling kit and body lift online. I am planning on getting the tires in the next week so. Once I get everything installed and the tires on I will upload another picture. I am also planning on taking the bug deflector and rain guards off.The body molding is starting to fade yellow how should I restore it without painting it?
