4/6 djm driop kit with doetsch shocks
GMC Grill with smoked lights up front
6000k HIDs from ddmtuning
LEDs for my gauges and HVAC controls

Other Plans Are
15" SS Wheels with 255/60
Speed Grill
Smoke LED Tailights and Third Brake Light
Cowl Hood
Small System Under Back Seat

This is all I can think of for now but ill probably add more later

Yesterday i remove the chrome fender trim, chrome bug deflector and the emblem off the tailgate. I also found a set of some tinted tails that ive had for about 3 years so they are in pretty bad shape but I just wanted to make sure that I liked the smoked on the green.

Go look in your glovebox for an RPO code of "NumberNumberU"

Example my Victory Red has an RPO code of 74U. There is an RPO decoder Here on the forum.
