Quick detail today

So my last detail about 2 weeks ago was a full detail (wash, clay, polish, wax, ect.)... but these past two weeks we've been getting slammed with afternoon thunderstorms so my baby needed a quick clean, and it got her right back to how she looked after the full detail (minus the wheel wells... took it out after the detail today and hit one little puddle, now they are dirty again.)

So today's detail just consisted of a wash and UQD spray down... came out good in my eyes:

YES! I did it and have never looked back. They were getting in my way I am tall enough I do not need them! Do it!

I've been thinking about it... my FX came with the black ones that are okay but I know they will rust sooner than later.

What did you do to you headlights? They look sweet!

Yea, as soon as I get some dry weather again I'm gonna rip them off and see how it looks for a while. Easy enough to put back on if I don't like the truck without them.

As for the headlights, nothing to special. Just Hella blackout housings and a set of 6000k HID's from HID4U (Although now-a-days I'm recommending retrosolutions for their kits... mostly because its digital as opposed to analog.)

Great detail man. Truck looks great.

And those are 6000k HIDs? Do they shine pure white with just a tad of blue?

Yea, 6000k from HID4U. They have a faint bluish tint to them, but pure white when your behind the wheel at night.

Note: Just got back from the tint shop. Had them factory match the rear, and these guys did an amazing job.

The place is Tint King in Billerica, MA (I know its irrelvant to most of you, but if any locals are looking for tint, I'd highly recommend them.) They have some sort of precision cutting machine that matches the factory window size exactly. Rolling down the window, you can't even tell there is a layer of film... it just looks like a normal window (tinted, of course). 85$'s and 15 minutes of my time, well worth it.

Alright sweet. I'm looking to buy some eventually, really want HIDs! I just tinted my own windows also with professional results, sadly i'm disappointed with my 20%, not dark enough for me, so I may be doing 5 in the future.

I bought my HID's from HID4U who is a good seller, but if I knew about retrosolutions.com before I bought them I would have gone with them. They are digital, so they have no radio interference which gets annoying with the analog ballasts.
