Wow i really really like that front bumper that looks real good. Im pretty sure thats a photoshop job right and not a real one The rims are ok not my cup of tea. Maybe if you get a chance can you make the truck black and photoshop my rims on there it would be greatly apperciated.

Are those vents on the bumper cover? Sorry if this is a "Welcome to Last Week" question. Are they Photoshopped, decals, or real? I'm thinking Photoshop because of the thread subject. It looks badbutt, man.

Nice job on those. I also checked out your site. Real sharp 1st page with the mouse.

about four of those vents would make a great cold air induction start. Wonder how the bumper could be cut or stamped to get this effect?

BadAzz516, I could go through all the trouble of changing the color and adding your wheels, but it would probably be a LOT easier to just use a pic of your truck. Send one to me if you want me to try, but since it's black you probably woudn't see much more than a glossy highlight for the vents.

Shazbot, it's photochopped - always be skeptical of anything I post on here bud. "Welcome to last week" would be my Econolightning.

RhinoSlug, thanks for visiting my website - glad you liked the home page image.

Twisted99, I'm curious - did you do some math calculations that determined 4 vents would yield the proper airflow? Or are you just guessing? A good idea for sure as long as there is a drain hole in the ducting (woudn't want hydro-lock).

When i made that post i figured that since my truck being black and the vent holes black wouldnt see much. If you want to and its not to much trouble i would just like to see my rims on the red truck. If you cant then no big deal. I really like that front bumper though looks really good. I think that 2 vent holes are enough though think 4 on each side would be over kill. I checked out your site awesome stuff those need for speed cars look great.

Oh yeah i forgot if you get a chance to do my rims on the red truck just check my gallery on here lots of pics of my rims from different angles.
Thanks

Yeah that mathematic calculation was a bitch...2x2=4....

They look like extractors...but they do look good.

I doubt the hydro lock would happen. It was tossed around alot before the first cold air setup was seen here. I would like to keep the fog lites. Your vents seem the way to go......Come to think of it..a louvered hood might be what I work on to be different from the in crowd....the old hot rod style might be the next best thing....

Hey SLVRLTNG! I've been lurking for a while (moving to a new house so don't have much free time). How you been doing? I haven't upgraded to the flip chip yet - trying to keep the shiny side up and the greasy side to the pavement!

Nice work WantALight! I couldn't find any other angles of the Boyd's, so I used the image Twisted99 supplied:

NOTE: this truck probably needs to be lowered!
