i assume you have a blue interior? if so, black and gold would look horrid with blue guts. i vote blue one blue or blue on silver. black on silver is my favorite, and what my rig will hopfully turn out as someday.

My interior is grey
This is an older pic of my interior, will it match with Black and gold? The headliner is easily changed

Black and silver would look pretty killer too I think

Nope, that'll look like crap! Better pull that seat and give it to me and get one that matches better. ;)

Well, the desicion is made BLACK and GOLD is the color my truck will get painted, I was kinda undecided till I scored this find. With the help of a local guy(Mark Nixon) that sells a lot of parts on the forums he turned me on to this darn near complete spice interior, the only thing its missing is the door panels and I even got a good headliner with it. I spent most of the day at the south Omaha U-PULLIT snaging the dash and back corners and some of the belts and a few other odds and ends. Of all the truckes I got parts off of today they were all C.A.R.S program trucks that were in awesome shape

This is a little off the subject but how much did you have to cut out of your grill to get the intercooler to fit? Also the wheels look great...

I don't remember how much exactly I cut but it was plenty, probly 2" or so

Hey Bill, don't worry I found out it was a Tiawanese piece I hacked up

Do the 3rd gen wheels bolt right up or do you need an adapter? I see sets for sale all the time because guys go for the big black rims and ditch their stock rims.
