we added some Lamin-X tint film to the tailights to mask the chrome parts which didnt quite match the rest of the truck.

 

looks good...like the tinted tails.

 

Looks great! I have several friends that race MX that are sponsored by Rockstar. I want to think you guys for your support of the greatest motorsport on the planet!!

 

i see your in So Cal being you got the truck from Galpin...Is your office by any chance located off sunet and laurel canyon?

 

Tails look slick. Might do some lamin-x instead of buying new ones.

 

the fleet of trucks was purchased from Galpin, however I am located in the northeast - Philadelphia Specifically. as of right now there are 6 of these trucks around the country.

and we do have an office in SoCal, so you might see one of these trucks there, but its not me.

yeah, i looked into buying the tails from the harley davidson edition, but the lamin-x film is simply much more cost effective plus it adds an extra layer of protection to the tailights.

 

when you applied the Lamin-X did you cut out the red and white parts of the tail lights with a razor blade?

 

that lamin-x would be good for the third brake light

 

yes, we started by tinting the whole tail light, and then proceeded to carefully cut out the brake and reverse light portions of the tail light. my friend who runs the tint shop that did the work (www.shadesofgraytint.com ) used a special knife that cut the Lamin-x film without cutting into the tail light itself.

 

Very cool. Tails look great.

 

yeah, the 3rd brake light AND the head lights are next. im stoppin by my friends shop tomorrow to see about getting them done. its gonna be the same style as the tails since i use this truck frequently at night, and i need the light output, i just dont like seeing all the unnecessary chrome.

 

I'd like to see some pictures of the headlights when you are done. I've been thinking about doing something with the cornerning lights on mine but leaving the headlights and turn signals alone. That bright orange just looks out of place especially once I smoked the mirror reflector.

 

So does someone that works for Rockstar do the customizing work, e.g. installing the lift, etc. or do you just send the six trucks to a shop and have someone else do it?

 

all 6 trucks were modified & assembled by a shop called Drag Cartel Industries / Cartel Customs located in Simi Valley CA. (www.dragcartel.com ) They are actually a honda drag racing team / parts shop, but they also have an alternate business creating custom vehicles. They have in the past created several show cars for Rockstar, including several Scions, and a Barracuda. So when the need arose to create such a project, they were the 1st people we turned to, and their quality of work & care is second to none.

 

That's a good looking truck. I could go for a Rockstar right now. I'm very thirsty.
