Damn Alex...all I can say is wow....wow, wow, wow. Completely makes the front end a ton better! I liked the chrome, but after seeing this, if you go back, then.....I'm not going to say it.....

I really need to repaint my surround...stupid paint chips.....

I'm not gonna lie, when I first read you were repainting it white I thought it was going to look really lame but as a matter of fact I actually really like it. Good Job. What type of headlight casing and corner lights do you have?

Thanks guys! I have a really cheap camera, and I was in a hurry. Dont start complaining

Here's the daytime shots:







And guess what I'm about to put on...........XLT MIRRORS!!! I just got back from the junkyard and found a pair of manual chrome-capped XLT mirrors. I'm about to sign off here, go outside and grab my tool box and in a matter of hours I'll snap you guys some pictures.

No no no! They'll look a million times better if you take the time to paint them white before you put them on.

Rap-
That is some impressive work. I think the end result looks hot in white. I like it now much better than before the accident.

Also- you know its impressive when Shines gives you a compliment. That "boy" can be a real pr*ck...ha ha, J/K Shines....

I also learned something, Trim's truck is actually white huh? I always thought it was brown like Mercedes... (just bustin guys)

The "sport" trucks have manual mirrors that are PTM...not the dumbo ones

I think you should paint the caps white as well, but its your truck.

youll be happy with your new mirrors!
