im going for a classic look to her. maybe a 2 inch lift just to give her a new stance but nothing crazy. really trying to clean her up with some silver/chrome accents but not going overboard with it.

In my opinion painting that much of the body is going overboard. I like the way it looks now as far as the paint. If something I would understand painting the moldings/bumpers/grill the same color as body, not vice versa. Also painting the rockers and lower doors to me looks like you are covering rust. Just my opinion.

I want to keep the grill the same color, and paint the mirrors the same color as the body. then get some chrome door handles and chrome trim for the windows. but yes, like you said my biggest annoyance is having the bumper caps not match. Im either going to go same color as the body or do a silver two tone like on a 1990 laredo.

I myself would pull off the mirrors and bumper ends. And paint them to match. (It is an option that was offered, APAS Monotone Paint is the option code name) The problem with two tone is the door jams. It looks like **** if their not painted to match the body.
