Get a set of factory fog lights and take off those chrome wheel well moldings and stick on chrome door handles. Get a set of white escalade door handles. Some would tell you to demold/debadge it but being an 01 I would leave it on due to outlines and paint fade. Otherwise you have a nice lookin truck.

You have a whole lot goin on there bud. If it were my truck, I'd do the escalade handles like said above, do a HD hood instead of the one you have now, paint the grille white and do a billet chrome emblem, do a black z71 Tahoe valance with the round fog lights, paint top bumper pad white, take moldings off(I have an 01 and did it, no ghost marks), go back to stock headlights and bumper lights(those look terrible IMO), take stickers off windshield, tint windows if not already done, take steps off and done.

As you can see, less is more IMO. Makes for a cleaner truck.

Is that diamond plate under the molding? If it is or that is stick on stainless, loose that too. Country has good points. Real question is...... How much do you want to spend?

Pretty easy if mechanically inclined. Me and my bro put mine on with only hand tools in 10 hours. Shop wanted a day and a half, plus 800 bucks to do it. Hardest part was figurin out how much to grind off the diff to get it back in there
