im a huge fan of the black out look as u can see on both my trucks

on my lbz i debadged it changed the third brake light to black and put light covers over al of them, the only thing that wasnt grey or black was the part on the emblem i put on the tailgate from the lb7 that says duramax diesel in red. i hated the way it stood out so i took a sharpie to it and did wonders...just thought id let u guys see what this looks like incase ne1 else out there thinks like i do

it is illegal in NC to drive with them on at night...but they just clip on so i take em off when it starts gettin dark...takes like 5 seconds max

for those of u that are reading this and havent used a sharpie yet, save yourself the trouble of it coming off and go get a touch up paint pen...works much better..easier to apply, and stays on

oh yeah i gotcha...my old truck did that real bad with just the t-bars cranked, but this truck has held up fine and hasnt dropped a bit..i think it might have somethin to do with havin the keyws in there, cuz i didnt have em on the last truck
