Looks good man. Those SS wheels look sharp on there, both before the drop and after.

I always dug those wheels my dad had them on his 97 chevy ecsb. Man do I miss that truck. He bought it brand new. The 4l60e crapped out at 103k. So my mom got a 01 alero. And I never saw the truck again. I always liked the Jimmys better than the Chevys.

Painting interior trim is just tacky, It never turns out good, rest of the truck looks good though.

after i sanded the dash and all the handels smooth and resprayed... they turned out realy good. But ive had it that way for over a year now.. and im starting to get bored with it. Looking to go back to all stock except my custom guage panel. Maybe with some billet accesories here and there.
