Yep, looks nice. Silver looks good with so many colors, orange, red, burgundy, black, dark grey, about any color, really.

Not sure if i want to two tone it. I like how built5.4 did his two tone, thought about doing that similar thing in black. Ive got about a week to decide before it hits the paint booth

Pat, f- her insurance. give them the full retail price for the aftermarket parts, and tell them you paid for brand new parts, and expect brand new parts in return.

can't wait to see you get your truck fixed up.

At least their working with on the after market, that's cool. But, yea, What you paid for the stuff and what it costs to replace are almost always two different numbers.

Keep up the negotiations, it's sounding good so far.


Mannn, I like the black hood on these models. Looks killer

here's a concept i did, not sure if i like it enough to do it.



They gave me the run around about getting a Harley valence put on instead of the STX..... They told me you can't get any Harley parts without having a vin number, or a part of the piece that is replaced? Not sure if i want to just order it myself and worry about doing that separate, and just have them cut me a check for the value of my STX valence.

Wow... just saw this thread. Glad to hear you are alright, but sorry 'bout the truck. Hope you get everything worked out $$$-wise and can do some mods. Your truck is one of the best looking for our models imho

Good luck getting it looking great again

Common pat...just total it out man! Then let me know when it goes through so I can snag up your backseats...

Glad to hear you and your lady are okay though...and good luck with getting the insurance to cover the aftermarket.

I had a guy with no insurance rear end me in the truck once...no damage to me except some scratches on my trailer hitch and ball, which went through his grill and knocked his radiator back. He barely spoke english and said he was okay, so i just kinda left...always wondered how he got home?
