Nice mods but like jake said the crooked sticker needs to go. Btw about the vinyl wraps for the gold. Its gonna cost you more to do that than getting them painted. I was quoted 600 for a professional to paint my fenders and I went to my local vinyl place and they told me it would be around the same price and you have to get it replaced after a few years. Which brought be to doing it myself for 50 bucks. Get line-x or don't waste your money imo. For wheels as well, you don't like all black for your truck?

im workin on the sticker this weekend. i cant paint mine myself becuase its not plastic and itl be like $50 for me to do the vinyl. all i have to do is order it and apply it myself. Justin (joh408) did it to his.
as for all black rims i do want some but cant find any i like. i dont want some sort of bullet hole or somethin. i want some actual rims if that makes since. but cant find any that i like (exccept for very common stuff like ur old xds and rockstars) but il keep lookin....

Rockstars have plastic center caps. You can get a little saw and easily cut them down to where they sit flush with the wheel. I just did it a few days ago. When I get my phone back then I will put some pics of it. I also PTM'ed my stars

They are 18x9's. I would have gotten 20's but I got a good deal on the 18s. I want 37x13.5 toyo muds or mud grapplers. I would have settled for a set of KM1's that I was going to buy this past weekend, but that whole deal fell through.
