Good as New

Truck is looking better than ever. The tonneau cover and valance were never perfect matches. They were close but a shade different. Now everything matches perfectly. The whole truck was painted and then had a guy detail it for 7 hours washing and polishing it. This morning I cleaned up the bed and the cab. Had dust from the shop. Overall I'm very happy with the work and would highly recommend them to anyone.

The pics

You don't like my lowrider tail pipe???
I think about it all the time, but just never find the time to take it to a muffler shop.

The grill is a Stull Ind. grill and the valance grill is Carriage Works.

The bill came to $7,000. $3,500 billed to insurance from the accident and I paid the rest.

I think the grill was about $150 and had to trim a little to get a nice tight fit.
