I'd keep the badges as it seems to give the truck a more detailed look and the running boards seem to fill the truck out. It's entirely up to you. You can always remove them all and stand a few feet away and judge for yourself how it looks or send us another pic with all of it off and we could let you know as well.

Besides, some have a point on keeping the running boards so other passengers such as new friends or even a new lady friend in your new area could easily get in and out and roll with you.

I agree how the newer trucks look a bit funny. I like the older model Silverados and Sierras from I believe 2015-2018 as they look more raw and not so euro. Nice truck, you picked a good one.

Op just now noticed you took it off and resent a pic to us as I mentioned in my previous post I sent a moment go. It does look good without the running boards as well. Definitely black out the taillights. Black accents on a white vehicle look good.

already took it off, pic above. thoughts?

and yea I think I am going to keep the running boards handy for when I get there. gonna rock them off for a lil while as I have no friends out there and seldom have passengers. I agree 100% with the newer body style being TOO MUCH for me, the 2015-2018 silverado with color matched bumpers etc look great, and these GMC bodies with honeycomb or large grills look so good to me. I've always wanted a newer truck but never pulled the trigger.

I think I favor the pic without the running boards as imo it seems to give the truck a beefier look. I'd probably black out the chrome on the sides like the door handles, chrome around the windows, and lower part of the doors.

Go as dark as you legally can on window tint as that will definitely improve the aesthetics of it. I would even go as far as to suggest tinting the windshield a bit as it will look good too but only as far as you comfortably want to. I'm sure I'd get flamed for recommending that but some folks have a medical exemption for it to be considered legal.

I duno how dark in window tint you wanna go and I'm not sure what the laws are in Indiana as to how dark you can get them legally but it's up to you. I'm a fan of dark tint to keep the vehicle cooler inside, more privacy, and looking aestheticlly better.

Another thing that I may suggest adding is one of those (I forgot what it's called) chase racks or baha racks in the bed like those Ford Raptor trucks. It fills the truck out more and looks pretty badass.
