That's cool, to each his own! Some trucks here I think are nice, some not so much. It's subjective and that's what it's all about.

Personally, I don't care for the "blacked-out" look for the wheels and don't care for the chrome either. I spent a fair amount of time piecing this silver set together.

I have heard "remove the sticker" a couple times, but I like a little accent color. What's the aversion to the sticker? I had the running boards removed when I lowered it, but ended up putting them back on when the Saleen lower rocker panels didn't work out. I had them removed before I actually saw them on and thought the same thing from what I had thought and read until I put them back on and saw for myself. There just too much frame sticking down below the body and the step helps cover it up. It does look better straight on from the side instead of the front quarter view.

I still have some SikHids lights to install next week and debating on HD tails or LED tails and third brake light. Also considering a Saleen grill with custom Billet Badge for the mount and also new fender emblems, just can't make up my mind.

I've also done a few things inside HU, Stealth box, Instruments, HomeLink, with more to come; tuner, radio controls, rear camera, power fold mirrors, etc.

Oh, here it is without the step.

Absolutely right, do what you want to do because in the end, the truck sits @ your house. Nice ride man!

Thanks! I cant wait to see yours with it on either. I think its going to flow nicely with the FX2 chin spoiler.

They are MB bruzers from discount tire. They have been long discontinued but they carry a very similar wheel (almost a clone) in another name brand now. Ill see if i can find a link.

It's a Roush chin. I like how it follows the same type contour as the side skirts then jets out at the bottom. It'll work nicely.
