I looked at one like that, I was thinkin bout painting it, the surround, handles, and mirror tops to match my pueblo gold trim.

Any way how bright are the lights? Do they need hids, if I decide to get one?

I would of stuck with the original.
This may sound weird, but you are more original, sticking with stock.
Most of the guys here, and in my area, swap out their grilles for billet grilles, and it is becoming too much. I originally wanted to get a billet grille to be unique and different, but now... staying stock is being unique.
The grille you currently have does not match the truck at all IMO, paint it and it might look better.

Also, what was the reasoning for the camper? No truck should ever have a camper when it comes to look. As far as the work aspect goes, I can understand...

Great price. Definitely need some better pics of the new grille. I like it but I personally think it would look nicer if you painted the outside frame of the grill same color as the truck.

I think it has great potential. If you painted the surround the match or chrome. Black just doesn't go with your current look. Personally, I like to stick with your main color and then one color that ALL of the accents would be (chrome, black, or that pueblo). I love the idea of the aux lights in the grille, so you are on the right track. Just put some finishing touches on it. Just my opinion though.
