I love Toreador Red. Mainly because it decides when it wants to be red, or maroon.

I want to eventually repaint mine factory color, with maybe a few accents.

Picked up this clean 03 last week, havnt really done anything to it yet, but, there are some idea's on the burner. right now the only thing aftermarket are the westin bars (if you can really call those aftermarket), quiet series flowmaster, and a toolbox. The previous owner had brand new michelins put on it so... I hate to turn around and buy brand new Nitto's when there are brand new $200/ea tires on it already! Maybe someone will trade, or buy these lol

On the short-term list are Husky Liners, and a new front bumper (something better than stock, especially since this one has taken a whack in the middle)

Got a pic of it cleaned up now that I can drive it. Last ones were of it still in the shop and all dusty. Still need to wet sand/buff it but it's really close now.

I like it a lot, not a lightning bumper but close. I like the brake vents on the side too. I just need to get another billet grille to put in the lower bumper opening and then add some roush fog lights and put the HIDs in them.

Thanks man! Pretty easy too. Just a lot of coats of primer then sand and paint.

Thanks Derek, I'm happy with how it turned out. I like the tonneau too, just have to work on the hinges. They didn't line up exactly right so I have to make some new hinges. Not a biggie though.

That grille looks good man. I really like the ones you've done before that have the ford oval deleted and have the honeycomb all the way through. I've thought about swithcing to an L grille as well though.

It looks tons better now with the new paint. Do you sell those full grills or is it somehting you just do for your own trucks?
