You know like the ones that came on caddys to match those tail lights haha. Oh and this headlights may look cool frenched

The guy that had it before me did section it. I was thinking about a metalic flat orange. Once I get it cleaned up im am going to post it over in the photoshop section and see what anyone can come up with for a grill! I had already planned on the frenched headlights too! I dont care for the bug eyed look on this one..

Sell it to me for $100.00 more than you paid for it !!!
It would still be a steal if i sold it for twice what i gave for it.... IMO

It does appear to be a gmc! however, I have pictures from the guy showing him making the grille. Also the turn signals in the fenders are molded into the fenders a bit (you can't tell from the pictures)
