Stylish The white lettering around the tires makes it look like it belong on a Nascar track.

Nice pics Joe ...... but then again I am partial to green trucks. What will you do for center caps?

BTW, put on some shoes before those fire ants bite you.

Hey joe did you happen to use that wheel spray paint from Autozone on the wheels? I picked up a couple cans in gunmetal, but I am afraid to try it.

Yes I did. I just left the rims on the truck, put some masking tape around the lip, then took a regular news paper cut it into 4ths vertical wise, then cut the 4ths in half. Taped them to the tires.

Overall I'm very very pleased. The stuff adhires to the rims very well. Eposey, I also put two coats of the clear coat on them for added protection, but its not really necessary.

LE PEW, I havn't had center caps on the truck for nearly 5 months. Next paycheck I'm probaby going to buy chrome lug nuts, and put them on the truck. I think the chrome will set it off quite nicely.

You really think so? (about the side steps)

Lowering is definately coming, but only 2" shackles(poooooooor soon to be college student on a budget) A full drop eventually, but for now little one. Hood scoop is coming too. After that, or before havnt decided, a MicroTuner and some pullys, Efans, FTVB(maybe), and some cosmetic stuff.
