Thanks Shortbox
Well last year, I posted photoshopped pics of what mods I was going to do, then for the most part i folowed through with them. But a photoshop doesnt always look the same as the real thing LOL
I apreciate EVERYONE's input I know "to each his own" on opinions and likes. I love the position because to me they look more like a factory item then say in the bumper opening especailly when your using that space for either a ram air type intake or a wench setup. and yes i want a bull bar someday, but I'm kinda partial to not having it or not having anything mounted to it.. so this seemed like a worth while attempt even if it was going to be temporary.
Not trying to step on toes or get flamed (yes I'm intentionally putting a pun here, lets see how many catch it LOL) I have owned 43 Fiero's, half were turned into kitcars or one off modifications with hand made fiberglass body panels. I've also modded a 1984 Toyota Celica Supra GT to a 9 sec. show car. I'm getting ready to convert my 95 Pathfinder into a full ragtop setup.
The SCrew is my first ever, Brand new vehicle.. So sure I was a little worried bout hacking on it, but.. I can't stand a factory stock vehicle.. I get annoyed seeing "my truck" drive by on the street or in a parking lot. I have to do something different.. the tail lights or an example of the mods gone wrong.. I bought some black euros from ebay, which are now sitting on a shelf in my garage untill I can post them for sale.. In the end, I ended up taping off the portions of my stock tailights that I wanted to keep visible, sprayed adhesion promoter and then blacked them out and then pulled the tape and cleared them. I love the look now.
I can't afford all the mods I want, heck i can't even save up for them half the time, because I'm married with 4 kids and now I'm not making the $$ I used to. But I still piss off my wife by suprising her with new mods to the family hauler HAHAHAH
But this is a forum, and as such everytime I post I expect good and bad replies. So I don't get upset by people telling me it looks like crap or they love it. Of course I'd rather people saying the hate it, to leave it at that and not go into the whole "well you should have done this because..." But hey I'm used to it. I've been on 3 other forums for other cars since 1998 and I know all about the way forums work.
So thanks to EVERYONE for your comments, both the yay's and the nay's
And I'm bout to go get the truck washed so look for a new thread in the SuperCrews where I'll post new pics.
