I agree with budgetstperformance. It doesn't work with all trucks. And the stance and wheel tire combo are 100% crucial. I'm not in love with this movement, but have seen some stuff that I do really really like. But, man if you want answers to these questions--you gotta post pics.
I think the 73 grill idea is the best option(I think with the mesh painted semi black) , these grills make these trucks look much older. And on the whole, I think it's just good marketing to show an old patina on the outside to show the age of the truck, but then have a super great new interior to show off your ability and craftsmanship. It's kinda like a before and after all at one time. Just make sure and leave the tint off the windows. Besides, if you decide you don't like it--then get it painted.
