IMHO ... lose the running lights. Never liked those on anything other than a 18 wheeler.

Re: 1986 suburban

Here's what I would do:
- Remove the running lights.
- Replace the chrome molding around your windshield and the rear side glass molding.
- Tint the front windows 20% to match the others.
- Install a 5" black airdam to the front bumper (hide the swaybar,etc.).
- Install a small drop kit.
- Loose the wheel/tire package... at least loose the white lettered tires.
- And for the last thing... wash/detail it

JMO,
Anthony
