Best [high res] one I have of the rear end. I will try to grab the 40D from my room mate this weekend to do a few better shots.

Make that bumper a little lighter and it would look right on the money. The PTM rear will be more noticeable to you than you think. With the chrome the rear of your truck stands out so much more.

Yeah, I think the PTM will be a bit more subtle, but at the same time will add some "spice" to the truck. lol

I kind of like the chrome bumper back there now, but don't really know why. Guess it fits better because there is less black plastic around it?

And I may be doing a new exhaust set-up this summer, if funds allow. Probably just be some new single 15* rolled tips. but maybe a side exit if I'm lucky.

I cant quite pin it either, but I know that the ptm rear bumper still catches me off guard sometimes. After seeing that chrome bumper on there since 98, the blue hasn't set in 100% yet

Either way, its always a good idea

We will see after the summer is over.

Painting everything and bedlining the valance will probably total up to around 200-250 is I prep myself. So I should be able to get everything done!

Less maintenance required to keep it looking nice from all the crappy roads and loose gravel/rocks here is wonderful Arlington.

Trust me, it will look better than you think.

If you don't like it, then oh well, it's happening anyways.

theres a guy on Lrodder that just got his front bumper repainted with some kind of paint thats supposed to be really resistant to chips and stuff...maybe look into that.

i dont really think line-x goes with a street look man.
