Man, that looks really nice. You should get some nice flat black tips welded on those exhaust pipes. And those tail lights look SWEET with the black.

BTW, I painted my rear window trim also. I used body filler to make it really smooth and then hit it up with some 400 grit sandpaper. Then a few coats of krylon fusion and a couple of duplicolor clear. Came out nice and still looks that way.

How do those 10s sound man? I want to run a different sub set-up. I have a custom box with a 12" cvr and a 10" cvr. I want to get some under my back seat rather than on the seat, but just havent because of all the other stuff I have been buying.

Subs sound good. the only prob is the down fire of the box. not much air flow down there... but they sound pretty good.
they will sound even better when i get my bigger amp.

Well I am hoping that they will sound okay, but mine will for sure be down firing. I am going to have to get a seat lift and everything. I am hoping that they will sound better than what I have now. I will have a 1500 watt amp pushing them though so hopefully they don't pop.

If I were you.. I would get the entire truck painted solid black. That would look really good IMO. Otherwise, some kind of rhino lining would look really good too.

ya i thought of doing a custom box. just take it to the people i bought it and make it only be under the 60 portion of the back seat bcuz the 40 portion of the box is not used and have them up fire. or even fire out towards the floor board. ( ihave some metal gaurds for them so nobody can kick them).
also when i get my new amp (1000w) i might just go with some 12 inch subs.

And as for the truck im either guna go with line x, flat black or camo vinyl. havent decided yet.
