It's not that I don't think they will look good, I just think you'll be dissapointed with the fitment and will require quite a bit of working to get them up to par with the rest of the truck. That, and I saw several sets of them on truck out at SEMA last week and I don't much care for them. Valance FTW though.

I'm sure the fitment isnt THAT bad, hell I'm not going to shows or anything anyway, I just want it too look good in pics and while driving around, If I was a real stickler, I would have that factory dent in the tailgate removed, lol

Good call man, and congrats on not letting an idiot like me talk you out of doing what you want to your truck. Sometimes I hate myself lol. Can't wait to see the completed pics.

lol no its cool, I know the end look I want its just I have to get there in small steps, I'm still not 100% on the skirts either and now I'm in hardcore need of some drum stuff right now, so I might only get my valance done right now see how that looks for a while, altho I'm not going to really be happy till my truck looks like the PS pic

Nice, I am more of a just a rock drummer so I don't need all that. I actually have more kit than I really use now, i have a bunch more cymbols but I rarely play them, I've got a double kick, two snares, three toms, two crashes, ride, splash, transformer, and thats about it.

Yeah, I've got 13 but don't really feel the need to pack them everywhere so hence the consolidated kit you see pictured up there. I would HATE to move your kit. I'm playing with a band that is a weird cross between U2 and the Foo Fighters. I also play alittle jam band action with some other local guys.

I don't move the big side at all, that stays home, however the "little" side is made to be a "portable" big kit that doesnt take up alot of space, I still have my options, which is good cause my band has a primus, rage againt the machine, janes addiction, STP, RHCP, van halen,led zep, satriani, vai, dream theater thing going on
