Been Busy(pics)

Finally got it so my truck looks like less of a grandpa truck
Before(last week)



Now:





Added a hell bent 2.5 leveling kit. took the headlights apart and painted them black, ditched the front mud flaps( might ditch the back too not sure yet). And my exhaust tip was all pitted over winter so I tried to salvage it by painting it black. Let me know what you think!!

Nice improvements and uh, yeah, ditch the front flaps.

I just bought a skid plate off a member here and it has some holes in it for the front license plate. I'm not sure if he drilled them or they come that way but I'm going to be putting my front plate on there. Gives the front end a nice clean look without the plate imo.

I think it look great although I've never been a fan of mud flaps either. The darkened headlights "make" that truck.

I also think a Saleen grille would look great on your truck.
Like this one:

Well I would definitely ditch the back flaps also, and get some chrome bulbs for the turn signals(like the stealth brand).

Black5.4beast I used plastikote paint and "amazing goop" to seal everything back up( used craploads of it) http://www.eclecticproducts.com/Automotive.htm and all I did for preo was sanded it down with some 400 grit

Thanks for the compliments and darren I was thinking about doing my fogs after I seen yours but after fighting with my headlight glue I might wait a bit. ( although your look awsome!

I have plans for the truck but I did all this on about $150 so i'm happy
