    I guess it could be considered frugal if you consider it saving me from buying a new truck. Lol
    I am trying to get the headlights/grill from an 07 on my 02 :eek:

    Lol hope you're joking. Not wide or large enough to look proportional to me, just my opinion.

    I've seen that done with an entire glass flare and front clip swap and it was ok.

    Do what you want though I guess

    It's true, I definitely may. But I think it would be pretty neat to see since I haven't seen it yet. Put it together right and it might look pretty neat.

    Yep, it'll definitely look alien but it is also a TW first and I can't wait to see it. Plus it's your truck so do what you want :p

    Were the lights the only things making you want a new truck??

    Thanks.

    I guess you could put these in the category of DIY frugal things too -

    While not frugal, I'm thinking your next purchase should be some weather techs.

    It looks like he has some underneath his floor mats. Why people insist on doing this is beyond me. It's dangerous.
