wiper arms tricked out


I've got the same calculator.

But in regards to the marbleizing. I'll hold my judgement until after I see it all completed/ on the matte black paint.

The close ups are a bit overwhelming I likely know more than most.
What the idea being that from a few feet back you won't see anything more than blackish paint accenting the gray. When it's all done I'll post a ton of pics takin with something other than my iPhone.

You (and the guy who wants to Line-X his whole truck) have some real BIG brass ones (meant as a compliment)!!! That's a real big commitment to go with something so different on a daily driver. Hat's off, my friend and keep posting pics!

The marbelizing, if not over done, should be a good accent to the matte gray. Looking forward to the finished product.

I've actually seen a few trucks that were completely Line-Xed before. If done right, it looks very nice yet extremely tough at the same time. If I had the money I'd do it.

Kudos to both of them for thinking outside the box a little. Matte finish always looks good to me.

Tell your bodyshop to keep up the good work brother.

it is a daily driver, ill avoid driving it when there are massive amounts of salt on the road and ill also try to avoid banging through the trees.
BUT i work out of town so it only gets used on my days off.
