Ask someone to Photoshop it for you first. Then decide.

i agree with you. paint the fender flares as well.

This is what i want to do to my truck along with black front and rear bumpers. and fender flares.

i was going back and forth on Rhino line or shiny black paint. after seeing this im really leaning towards Shiny black paint.

Looks good!!

im closer to you than jbrew im in farmington hills at 11 and orchard lake

oh my i think i might do shiny black. im not a painter by any means but ive wanted to do that for a long time.

Any ideas how to paint the bumpers them selfs? the chrome??

i thought brew was out towards wixom or some place out west.

he wanted to meet me at kent lake because it was half way between me and him so we could line um up and race but it snowed the day we were gonna race and with 2wd i have no traction lol.

lol what i was trying to say is. i wanted to race jbrew. and he said kent lake off of 96 would be half way between me and him.

so i assume hes out west off kent lake and not in livonia. he told me were he lived but i forget.

yeah ive heard chrome is a PITA to paint as well. someone said sand blast it and use self etching primer.

Ya we all should meet thatd be fun. i would say for you guys to go to milian 2 morro but i dont even know if im going now. lack of a job and no moneying coming in sucks
