Pics of my ride

Here are some pics of my truck, I got it used out of a dealer for less than 10k just over a year ago. I havnt done any mods on it YET, but most of that year I have been 6,600 miles away from it... so I gots lots-o-cash and a few ideas for it.

Ill list some things I want to do to it with the corresponding pictures:

Level the front end out, possibly go up a tire size or 2 if they look too small afterwords:

I have the V76 RPO code for the truck, but for some reason someone took the front towing hooks out, I have a set from a '01 silverado, not sure if they will work yet, but thats something I guess I will have to find out when I come home. Also, going to buy a factory fog light setup. (You can see the little gay lights that dont even work, came on the truck when I bought it...sad sad sad) I want to do the hi-4 or maybe hi-6 mod on it when I get all of the lights on and working... maybe even replace them with brighter bulbs:

Gotta figure out why the deflector looks wierd in this picture (my friend was screwing around and she jumped on the hood... didnt damage the hood, but broke the deflector. I bought a new one, same style, just looks diffrent (is there a way to adjust the angle on these?) There is also a dent on the fender just above the passenger front tire, came like that (altho I dont remember seeing it when I test drove it, just when I got it home)

I want to get the black fender guards (that go on the fender around the wheel-well) because I think they look awesome!

Also, I am installing a computer inside my truck (removing the stereo for a mucho better and more versitle option) Here is the nav screens (day/night modes) there will be more to follow, but these are just one of many screens in the many abilities that this truck will have. Its based off of a BMW iDrive computer found in some BMWs (the BMW logo on the bottom right will be gone when I install it in my truck)

Day Mode:

Night Mode:

If your curious about the computer in the truck idea, you can go to www.mp3car.com. They have TONS of information about installing a computer in your ride and are really helpfull with most questions. There is a SERIOUS lack of silverado owners doing this, only a few that I have seen.

Let me know if you have any questions and let me know what you think of my ride!

Found some pictures of my Nova (RIP)

She didnt look like much, but she hauled some serious @$$

My first car, my first chevy, the car I learned how to drive standard on, my only speeding tickets and a bunch of other firsts in that car... I miss her!

Nice Silverado & Nova. Yeah, you should add some fog lights, at night these trucks look really nice with the fog lights on. Is the Silverado a 4.8L or a 5.3L? What engine was the Nova running. Yeah, I have also owned two Chevys, my Silverado and my Camaro Z28 which came with a 5.0L. My Camaro was also manual and it was pretty nice, I sold it though.My Camaro wasn't really that fast but it looked sick. And now I own a 2006 Silverado with the 5.3L and it is awesome. Red looks nice on these trucks.
