Hiding Frame After Body Lift with Exhaust

Ok so I was wondering what you guys think this will look like, I was looking on Ebay and found this full exhaust system for a Saleen, some people think that having the frame rails exposed a little bit after I got my body lift doesnt look to good. So what do you guys think my truck would look like with this full system you think it will hide the frame rails?

A few pics of the Saleen Kit:

It doesnt bother me either but there where some guys saying how ugly the rails are being exposed so im planning on spraying undercoating or maybe even bedliner under my truck so it looks nice. But man I think that exhaust looks badass.

I have a terrible imagination ahhaha, I cannot picture what it would look like on your truck.

If I were you, I would do like you said, undercoat/bedliner spray

Exposed frame rails are part of the price you pay for the low financial price of a body lift. The Saleen parts are nice, on a Saleen... I personally wouldn't care for those pieces on a 4x4, but then again, it's not my truck.

1. I was the main person before saying the exposed frame rails look like crap. I stand by that opinion now.

2. Putting that Saleen kit on your truck would be a horrible idea. I would rather look at the frame than a street truck body kit on a lifted 4x4.

3. Get some step bars and hope for the best.

4. Stop trying to please everyone else. It is your truck- do whatever makes you happy. We aren't the ones who have to drive it every day.

a buddy of mine put a body lift on his blaizer and we just used an old rubber mat(the kind that goes in your bed) and cut it to the shape of his wheel well and it covered up the gap and it looked real good after we were done.

I have Gap Guards inside the fender wells, its the frame under the truck that you can see now, it doesnt bother me at all, actually I dont even notice it I just like the look of the side exit exhaust systems I actually have a Gibson Super Truck Exhaust system on the way already but I found this set for super cheap so I figured I would see what you guys thought it would look like. I liked the Saleen Side exit because it exits on both sides and I also found the rear bumper kit for cheap also thats the only reason I was thinking about the set.

Have you guys seen the Garage Pro Ultra Bright Truck Steps if so I installed a set on my truck last weekend. I think they take away from theframe rails pretty nicely. They came in chrome but I sanded them and painted them black, I really like the way they came out I will post pics of them tomarrow when its light out.

Not sure if the body pieces will go well with your truck.
