I like the rear fenders and grille. Good find

Changing the hood from the current to that is a huge step in the right direction.
I hope for the production model they dump that stupid little plastic scoop on the hood. But I got to admit they are finally getting the front ends of those things so I could (almost) tolerate owning one..

Those dually fenders look really good. I have always liked the looks of the new GMC's. All those changes make them look a lot better. I hope they get the Chevy's looks figured out though.

little plastic scoop on the hood

I agree! and guess what now Dodge is going to put them on their hoods too, about like the ones on the current LMMs...imo its looks awful tacky...

All in all, I think its a great looking truck, i like the new GMC Front a lot more then the Chevy Fronts...

There is still no dually aluminums, those are just cheesey plastic covers. got a friend that owns a 2008, and it is plastic. looks just like the picture, but is white.

If anyone knows if the new ones have aluminums, please post.

I am getting to really like the refreshed grilles, much better than the first ones IMHO

I love the new bumper. The Chevy looks more like the GMC now if you find the other pics. I'm really hoping they ditch the tacky hood vent(s) altogether. If they do, there will people swapping out hoods!

Just texted my buddy at the Chebby Dealer and he said they are not full aluminum, they are a two piece, snap on (like what i had on the Dodge)...:shrugs :thumbdown

Whats all the hoopla about the '11 hood? The hood on the black 3500 on BritewhiteRam post looks like the '07.5 with the plactic pieces at the top sides of the hood. Thats actuallty the look I like. I don't much like the plastic piece on the top center of the hood. Rims are ok but nothing to write home about (my thougts).

thoses are older trucks i posted to show that they do have aluminum wheels on the NBS trucks, they arent 2011 trucks, just to clairify:happydance
