What would you do next?

Out of these two things what would you do next?

1. Line-X the bumpers black
2. Replace th AT's with MT's

Here's a pic of the truck.

Neither.. instead, Powdercoat the bumpers and wheels.

It should cost just as much to powdercoat the bumpers as opposed to LineX.. and it will be a more blended smooth finish. While you're there have your wheels powdercoated black as well.. I'm assuming you're going for a blackout look?

Sand blast and powdercoat the bumpers. Like Zeruin said, powder coat will flow with the paint alot better than the LineX would. If your tires are still good just keep them for awhile and get some M/T's once yours are worn out.

Do you actually need new tires, or is it just for looks ?


I'd do the bumpers

bumpers would stand out more than new tires.

you can prolly get your bumpers powder coated for around $300

i would wait on the tires till you need them
