Edit, where they placed the satellite receiver ant looks wonky as well.


Color matched bumpers are usually on "Sport" pkgs. Either that or "Base" pkg painted bumpers.

Color matched bumpers look way better, not sure what that guy is smoking.

That GMC looks really good to me.

I feel trucks looked best from about 1970 to about 2002/3. Regardless of brand or country of origin, they just all looked pretty good then. Around 2001 the bug eyed Frontier came out, then in 2003 GM went a little Aztek on the Silverado's grille and lamps, and trucks have been getting weirder ever since.

That updated GMC pictured above doesn't look bad. I still think it's over-stylized and a cleaner design would look better though.

Like i said if you drive it in the city only, its probably ok. Drive it across a few of my fields and it will look like [censored] fast.

The painted bumpers are only good if you don't use a truck as its designed.

The vast majority of those trucks are used as cars anyway so it doesn't matter.

Anyone who cross shops a car and a truck really doesn't need a truck.

Or just use splash guards? Or are your fields covered in brush that will scratch them.
