I like everything except the graphics and the line of fire. As for the graphics, I thought maybe you had them for working on the Spiderman movies or something like that. (sorry couldn't resist)

If you are painting any plastics or rubber try the new Krylon Fusion, it bonds to the rubber or plastic and is flexible, no sanding whatsoever, just clean the surface very thoroughly and spray a couple coats, you can buy at ACE Hardware. Hope this helps.

It's the wheel moulding you can purchase at a n automotive store.
LightninGuy, yeah my mistake, thought you were someone else, any ways you are entitled to your opinions but could you explain what's rice about it. Many of the L owners on here have chromed grills, wheels, gas caps, graphics
billet pedals and fancy intakes and also rear spoilers.If it's the spoiler, that design came straight from the Nascar/Nastruck series and can you get any more American? The lights on the back might be in question but that's more for my peace of mind when driving here in Florida and I think similar lights were used like in the late 70's and 80's on some US cars, anyways these Forums are about sharing neat tricks and money saving mods if you are on a tight budget. BTW Most Ricers use Nitrous, does that mean the L's on here with Nitrous are Rice too?

Iam always amazed how people like to judge/critique other peoples vehicles. If this man is happy with the mods on HIS truck, then Iam happy for him. Does this mean I would like to do the same on mine, No. I just respect him for being an individual and trying to make his truck unique.
I remember when I caught a load of chit for putting a cowl hood on my truck. Some members "thought" cowl hoods belonged on GM products, so it had no bussiness on a Ford.
But then again, Iam paying for my truck, so like Redlightn 02, I want to make my truck my own.
