I like the gray! What colour gray is that?

As for comments I am not a big fan of the headlight covers/tint to me what would set it off is a bhlm with a retrofit projector! Also all that work in paint but the grill look like it was spray painted... I think with the glossy headlight covers the grill should be a gloss not flat!

Looks like a lot of work went into that truck!

it looks sweet and unique man. I think you definitely need a lowering kit to top it all off:top:

Very nice. :)

I think a drop and black housing headlights with projectors would be the bees knees. Clean color though. ^^

I love seeing different colors en what came stock for our trucks, the grey looks good. I also don't like the headlight covers and think taking them off and doing a BHLM or do it with the same grey that's on the body. Those covers only look good on a BSP IMO.

As far as the comment on the grill paint being sprayed on, it looks like its the black Plastidip paint that was used, I think it looks good. Now drop that bitch!!

The headlights were like that since I had the truck black. Its a silver grey bmw color. Wanna go with some 22's to lessen the gap but funds are a lil tight. The grill was actually powder coated im gonna have to clean them up so they dont look so dull.

Thanks for the comments

I like it too:top:.

I do agree that the black headlights don't match the truck. I would get another set of headlights and do a color matched GHLM (Gray Head Light Mod), instead of a BHLM.

And I would of done what Gadget did, and have the black from the grille go all the way down the front bumper...as seen in the pic below.

Regardless, I think it's a sweet ass ride!

ditch the head lights and take the evo mod to the top of the bumper so its all black in that area and you're set.

I dig the color.

I really like the color that you chose on this ride. Not really feeling the tinted headlights tho, i think a BHLM would look awesome or color match the body.

The only way to truly lessen the wheel gap is to drop it. Putting 22's on there will not only look bad but it will also do nothing for the wheel gap unless u put a 55 series tire on them in which case the will rub so bad the tire may not spin at all:laugh: the only way 22's will fit is with a 30 or 25 series tire which will look like a rubber band around the rim and with the shape of the roads in the northeast ur rims will not last a month before hitting potholes and bending the shit outta the lip on the rims. Trust me on all the above. If u want big rims I really wouldn't go any higher then 20's.

Agreed ^^^. It's needs a drop.

Even with my 24's, I still had massive wheel gap in the rear (until I lowered it:smile:)-->

Looks like I'll be the one to step outside the box and say I dig it all. I love just about anything matte black, as well as just about any 2 tone containing black. You have both here, so I like. Also, grey is a great color to blend with black because it's a similar color, dark and subdued.

As for the head/fog lights, well, I dig those too. It looks stealthy and low key and there's far less dudes runnin those (especially on none black trucks) than there is dudes runnin the bhlm, which is litterally just about all of us. It definately does need a drop and continuing the evo mod up the bumper is a good idea as well. Overall, I think it looks sick...

Nice job and looking good !

I'm gonna sound like a scratched record here and reiterate dumping the tinted headlights. I'd also stay away from the 22's, your ride quality will go into the crapper and you won't lose the wheel gap. Tires in the size range also get silly expensive. 20's are as big as I'd go.

Otherwise, I think you're onto something !

I'd drop that thing to finish off the look. But seriously, it looms very nice man.
