I painted my grill and taillight housings white to match the rest of my truck, I then rhino lined the bottom half to give the truck a look of its own.
Two years later now there is a least 5 other white trucks with rhino lining on the rockets, copy cats! I hate being a trend setter! Lol

As for tow mirrors, they look a lot better on extended cabs than they do reg cabs. I have them on my reg cab and they look good when folded down. When looking at the truck head on with the mirrors flipped open/up they look pretty sweet, however from a side view it looks a little odd considering its a small reg cab. To me they'd look pretty decent flipped open on extended cabs.
Mine are the ebay ones, got em for $155 or so with brackets/hardware.

get the chrome off the mirrors its just a plating take a 3m lock grinder and hit the bottom just a tad to get it to chip and peel it off same for the grill peel that crap off and hit with a maroon scotch brite pad by hand then paint.

I agree haha My buddy said " please don't" when I ran it by him. Maybe if I were lifted higher it would justify the mean tow mirror look.
