Need help deciding

I was thinking about getting the headlights smoked and spraying the gmc on the front black. I photoshop'd these pictures, let me kno what you think. And if any1 has this body style and has done this that could post pics that would be great.

So far I'm with stewie . How do the emblems come out of the grill to paint anyways? Do the red letters come out of the chrome outline around them or do you have to mask that off?

The emblem just has two plastic nuts on the backside(10mm). Pull the rubber heat shield over the radiator and the nuts are easy to get to. I don't think the red letters will come off, you'll prolly halfta mask them off from the chrome.

What would you do to paint the grille and bumper or would you have to buy them already black?
