pick up some black headlights and itll look good. kinda looks like the base model trucks that come with the black grill though.

have you tried color matching with black grill inserts? changed the front end completely on my hemi when i did it

I agree on the headlights. Is there a way to improve the visual of our headlights? I am tempted to convert over to 06+ heads or even 4G headlights cause they look so much better.

Eye lids helps i guess.

Not digging it, if your bumper was painted or blacked out and your lights were the same then it may look a little better but right now, it looks completely out of place

Looks like someone broke your grill, and you replaced it but where too cheap to paint it.

I like the idea of a painted surround with black cross bars.

Paint to match!

There are plenty of ways to make the 02-05 lights look awesome. :D

There's a conversion kit. It's for your model to change to a srt10 front end. It's like 1,000 bucks
