So I figured with my tax money I'll buy a new grille assembly and headlights (since my truck is the work truck version and has the ugly ass front end). I'm probably gonna order the grille from gmpartsdirect but I'm not sure where to get the headlights. I kinda want projectors, but if i can get some nice OEM ones for a good price I might as well buy them. Can you guys refer me to any good sites for either part? THANKS!!

or you can use your savings/checking account and create a paypal account

personally ive been using ebay and paypal for years and love it. it saves me so much time and headache b/c like you said EVERYONE is using paypal.

i bought a whole front end for my lil sis's car off ebay....bumper, core support, grill, headlights, and hood for 700 bones. that was including shipping.

So you're saying the all white grille with the black mesh isn't manufactured like that? I would have to paint the crossbar myself? I guess I could live with the chrome crossbar.

As far as paypal, if I go through my bank account, do I just need a routing number or what? And thanks everybody for all the responses!

That sucks Matt, I have had no issues! I have mine linked to my debit card, so I feel alright with that. Plus I have identity theft protection too

Frikin secure as they come. Been using it for years...Some common sense is required...Use a limited card with a small amount limited and use it only for pay pal...I also use norton 360...Slows down things a little bit but well worth the protection.

So I just made a PayPal account. Soon I'll have the a ccount info in there and then I'll be set? Also, anything I should know?
Paypal is probably one of the most secure sites online, just as said use common sense. Dont respond through emails, I do get plenty of spam about my paypal info. Also, its not a guarantee, and you still have to be cautious.
Its just a site to send and receive money, you are still dealing over the internet.
Example: If you pay for something online, and the seller sends you a box with dogpoop inside and a tracking number for that $2000 whatever you just bought. Paypal is going to say that you received the item because there is a tracking number to prove it.

One thing I got thinking about. Since my truck is the WT, does it have the correct wiring for the other headlights?

I'm probably gonna go with the headlight/ grille combo that Freewood found for me. It'll be using just the OE headlights so I shouldn't have any problems right?

I've got a vert. and regular with billet they're both chrome but i could paint it for you if you give me the paint code. haven't decided which one to keep but if you want one of them I'll seriously consider an offer. ( youd have to pay for the grill+shipping+paint&clear. I work at a body shop so I can prep and paint for free but I still have to pay for materials)

Haha no dog but I am liking what I see. Well if you could paint it white, what kind of price would i be looking at? Cause I know shipping is gonna be EXPENSIVE especially for an item that big. At least $100 for shipping right? And how much do you want for the grille? I have a good amount of money but at the same time in order to do my conversion, I need new headlights. And i want to get projectors so that's gonna knock a chunk out of my funds so if it will be too expensive I might have to pass.
