I recently had my truck repainted and all the plastic pieces replaced..My truck is over 9 yrs old and didnt make it into the garage very often..The Florida sun and salt air is not kind to vehicles kept outside. Ive moved away from the beach and have an extra garage space now so it will stay covered and inside.. Got some new wheels and rubber why the checkbook was out..one more hit to it this year for a built motor and power adder and I will be set...81,000 miles...1500 from this year Im considering lowering it a bit but im not sure......

zack says thanks for advertising btw:P

 

very nice.. how much does it cost to have a vehicle repainted?

 

damn looks good

 

Thanks...mine was $4000.00 with no bodywork...supposedly the best paint you can buy...I know it can be done cheaper but this guy came highly recommended and I plan to keep this truck indefinately.

 

looks great. those are my favorite lightnings.

do you happen to have a "before" pic? just curious to see how much better it must look now.

 

Looks great but like Strider said any chance of a before and after shot?

 

Nice truck.

 

Unfortunately no... I hadnt taken a pic of my truck in 5-6 yrs and right up till I got it painted I was disgusted with the way it looked. It wasnt washed for probably a year. My roof was a light grey,the hood only had half the clearcoat left and the upper grill was almost white,sun damage. I put less than 1000 miles on it last year(driven at night..lol). I knew it was getting painted so I stopped worrying about it..another 1

nice tow truck.

 

What kind of wheels? They look great!

I would definitely lower it a little. For just a few bucks, it will improve the looks dramatically.

 

Thanks, wheels are Boze mesh similar to what another L here has...different forging and offsets. Wasnt my first choice but my other deal fell through.. Will lowering affect towing? How much to lower and not be a lowrider(front/rear)? Did that with my s-10 20 yrs ago when it was in.haha

 

Looks great, my 2000 has over 100k and never looked that good

 

Get some helper airbags, and you can lower it as much as you want.
