Arrow Blackout! pics inside..

lol.. I suck at taking night shots.. but here's a few pics after a quick wash..

I'm almost done blacking out the truck, I just need to repaint another set of stock headlights sitting in my closet to black out the front amber reflector and put in my stealth turning bulbs to finish up the front end..

I know it's a little blurry, but whatcha think?

the cameras really not that bad, it's just the lighting was a little off which makes blurry shots and hard to focus.. anywho I'll post some new pics tomorrow during the day.. lol

it's hard to say how much mpg I got back with re-gearing.. I'm sure it brought me closer to stock mileage, but it definately gave me a lot more get up and go.. I got the front and rear done for $1400, so it wasn't too bad..

lookin good there idnc, do you not like step bars, or whats your plan with that? you gonna finish up blacking out the emblems and lights?

thx ballin, congratz on the new stx, I'm lovin the blue and black combo.. didn't you used to have a black roush grille on the old truck?

if ya ever get a lift, just pickup a Procomp Stage 1, bout as cheap as it gets, you could buy it cheap on ebay for about $1100, then ya just have to find someone to install it.. only cost me $500 for install, so yea, $1600 for a 6" lift, I'm not complaining..

hey fx4chick the red looks nice.. its nice to see so many other blackouts on here.. love the "sexy edition" but you need some emblem overlays for the blue ovals to tie in with your theme!

I edited it with paint so.. but you get the idea..

Looks great and all you need is a tri-pod for those night shots

yea.. I really need a tripod for the night shots, but I dont feel like toting one around.. and I don't take pics that often anywho..

I like running boards.. plus my wife is 5'2'' she has enough trouble getting in as it is already.. lol

Hehehe - Already one step ahead of you! I just got my new badges and I am installing them this weekend. (I was going to wait to post pictures - of them ON the truck, but now I just have to post these....but will post after I get them installed) They are made out of 6061 billet aluminum, then powder coated and paint code matched to my exact paint color.
