The guard came off because I pressure watched a big hunk of paint off it. I'll probably repaint it but I was thinking of chroming it but that might not suit the rest of the truck
 






I liked the running borads. I would put everything back. I am looking for a grill guard now.
 






Yep. Looks better with the grille guard on. The tires look oversize or maybe its just the digicam. What size are they?

Earlier this year everyone was telling me to take the guard off lol. The tires are 265/50-20s
 






Who cares what others think about your own ride. It's your style, keep it that way, IMO. I think it has pros. for both pictures.

I knew they were huge! Btw- I bet I wasn't one of them you suggested you lose the grille guard. :)
 






I think the truck looked alot better in the first pic. This could be because of the shiny ass wheels but the front end looks better too. The guard gives it some character, or something. I just like it better with the guard on. I cant really see the running boards in that pic so i can tell if those look good on there. The guard gives your truck that "urban offroader"look. I like it.
 






I like it much better now, I really really do not like rims and brushguards together.
 






I liked it better before, but I do like the tint. Just my opinion.
 






was it hard to put on tint? I wanna get tint all around.

I think before everyone makes opinions, you need to get a quality 2nd pic =P

I'd have to recommend getting the tinting done professionally. I tried it before and it is a royal pain in the ass. I had a buddy who works in a automotive glass shop do it for me and also on my buddies Sierra C3. The front windows are 20% and all the other windows are 5%
 






~price?

I had to pay for the tint and the price of a 12 pack of Bud. Around here you can usually get a whole car tinted for under $250 Canadian
 






Definitely go professional when it comes to tinting. You will never be happy with your tint if you tackle them yourself. It's a lot lot harder than it looks. Price wise- its about $25 per window, $50 per windshield around where I live. Also, another thing to consider is the quality of the tint. The professionals usually carry the high quality tint ones, very thick, don't fade overtime. Most autoparts store just carry the cheap stuff. Beware.
