    Bhlm is pretty easy, just take your time and make sure the inside is clean when you put it back together, I recommend to put a good coat of polish on afterwards, the oven seems to strip anything off of the surface

    Factory tint rear, 20% up front, some people go with 35% which is legal everywhere but 20% matches the closest

    Paint it, I did mine and it came out pretty good, most people can't tell the difference between the factory paint, and I used the autozone crap, but when I put my new grill in in another month or so I'm going to use the good paint the surround again and do it perfect with real clear coat

    I love my Silver Sky. Used to park beside a guy at work who drove a Silver Streak and it really gave me an appreciation for the color of my truck

    Haha I can't stand when people lump mine in with Silver Streak Mica. My response is usually a very prompt "IT'S NOT THE SAME!"

    Get outta here with that basic silver shit. Mine is darker, and classier.

    If voting is still open, I vote to paint surround SSM and black out the center badge. Alternatively, paint or plastidip the surround black. Black badges on doors and tailgate. It might just be me, but if you leave the pavement, hunting camping . . . Black on SSM just says something.:cheers:
