I'm thinking your Navigator would look awesome if you painted it black. I just saw a black one today with rims and it really stood out from the rest of the cars on the road.

Steven-

Are those the plastic, stock running boards? Are they being dyed or painted to match the silver?

I have the EB Expy and want to lose the tan exterior accents and go with grey/silver to match my interior.

How are you getting around chipping, flex, and scratching by painting the part everyone steps on to get in the truck?

i am getting them painted. to keep them from getting messed up here is what you do.

tell your friends "if you step on that board im going to kick your @$$"

that usually works.

WANNANICECAR:
actually im still in college but i am fortunate enough to work for family so i get paid CASH, no taxes, plus i get a little extra.
last year i made 33,000 working one job. i just started working for my dad now and am going to make about 15,000 on top of what i made last year so that is where all the money comes from.

a lot of people wonder how a 19 year old has this, i know most of them think i push dope or some other $h!t but i actually work for it.

all i can say is work hard and you will suceede.
good luck with your upcoming job.

That is the Cervinis Ram Air hood.
i loved that exhaust. i had it all from the headers to the tips. it sounded mean.

i sold it only to buy a navigator.
when i first saw a navigator i knew that is what i needed and saw that it needed a lot of work to look SWEET.

Note:
Its not real wise to publicly announce that you have a 45k/yr income and pay no taxes, cause its paid in cash.
Your employer (regardless of family ties) can get nailed.
You could get nailed too.
I got audited my first time at 19....its not fun (unless in the audit they realize that they still actually owe you money.)

im not worried about it.



i do know what you are saying though.thanksfor trying to help.
oh yeah, it was only $33,000. i wish i had made $45,000 last year with one job, that would have been great.
it is also 100% legal, the way i get paid.
it is called casual labor. you are allowed to pay someone cash for working casual labor and their are no limits on the terms as to how long one can work casual labor.


working for my dad i pay all my taxes, however, being a fulltime student at The University of Memphis i get all my money back.

really though, thanks for showing some concern. i do understand that i really should not have posted that. they could try and audit but they would never make anything out of it.
