Got the drop @ the house man. And nah, I like the black lip

 

What size did you go with again?

And once you do go lower, removing the lip will help with the air flow under the truck. Since you will be lower, all it will do is project the air flow straight down into the road.

 

24s are the right size for me, u have to put like a 35 series on the 22 to make it look decent & 20s jus don't fill up the fenders enuff & look stupid lowered on low pros imo.

plus, i can deal with waiting to be bagged on 24s more than static drop on 20s or 22s.

but i got a flip kit for the rear & 2" coils. not sure what/how i'm gonna do so it's gonna be like this for a while. really wanna section & widen the bed panels & roll the front fenders...


and i'm not worried bout the airflow under the truck, it's gonna get bad mileage regardless so that doesn't even bother me anymore. it's like driving around town to the gas station wit gas 6 cents cheaper. not enough to make a difference

 

another update, dingus said in his thread he used a red film to change his gauge color so I decided to take on a project myself.

took the gauges out, and acetone'd the green off the back of em then put transparent red tape (like taillight tape) on the back. worked! so jus gotta order some LEDs now to make it even brighter!

jus gotta fix some needles now tho

sorry for blurry phone pic

 

well, another little update. to continue with the gauges I ordered red LEDs for the gauges & HVAC controls now. I have 2 spare headlight switches so I'm also gonna try the LED mod on one of them before I do on my new switch.

also as of today:





yes I'll be running HIDs in the heads & fogs, jus waitin on the fog kit. sorry

best news is, truck goes in for paint friday!!!!

 

Now you won't be in the fog anymore!

 

hahaha.. went back clicked through this thread, and a lot of the stuff i said i'd do i did it haha. said almost 2 years ago i'd get fogs.. finally did. said i would put on caddy lights in Feb '10 lol. said SS bed caps like 10 months ago lol. said i wanted 24s, finally got em. can't wait til it's all the same color

another update, UPS brought me more goodies today


and the F1 goes in to have the bed finished tonight! bedcaps are a PITA to take off. i broke about 8 clips off each side..

 

well, finally picked the truck up from paint. no full pics tonite cuz it's dark, but here's 1

 

going to look sick!!!!!

 

Man, you're on the move! You can't go wrong with the EBC Brake blond! - Og

 

Well, she's all done. I'm about 99% satisfied with it. Couple areas I wanna show him that I think need to be fixed but other than that

I went by the stealership this AM to try to find the little sticker pinstripe for the bottom, but it's only sold in kits and i didn't wanna pay $87 so i went around to the body shop & they had a couple pieces layin around, but they aren't long enough to do the rocker behind the tires to under the tail lights so i ended up goin & buyin it from an automotive paint specialty place, it's not the same but pretty damn close but now my pinstripe will be lower on that part but nothing i can do about it. enough yapping, here's the pics:















and I'm super pissed, I dropped 1 of the bedcaps when I picked it up to put it on, so gotta get that fixed :'(

It's like christmas other than that

Some pics make it seem like the rear doesnt match but I keep staring at it tryna figure it out, it's just different lighting it seems

 

clean! I would hide that tail pipe personally. Turn it down over the axle. and rear window trim? what are you gonna do with that?

 

Yea exhaustIs definitely gettin dumped, whenever I get aftermarket. And guy on here is sellin the trim. PM'd him but it's the shipping on something so oddly shaped ya know. Gonna check the yards around here sometime. That, mirrors, wiper cowl, & smooth upper bumper pad are all that's left. Handles, badges, & antenna are goin.

 

Don't worry. Now your truck has character. - Og

 

haha, we can say that. or call it a custom scratch haha
