Thanks for the comments. My painter told me lets do the black all the way up the bumper and I chickened out cuz I wasnt sure how it would look. Regretting it now. Ill look into the drop. See how much that will set me back. I was also thinking about those inside the track window visors. I have the trex 2 eyelids painted the same color also. Havent thrown those on yet.

looks good bro! I agree with the headlights but I wouldn't sweat a drop they are kinda overrated truck is low enough as it is.

what you have goin on under the hood?

So do you have any plans to put any paint protection film (aka, Clearbra) on the truck ? I'd strongly recommend it, especially on the front end and the rear fender flares. Protect that new paint.

I really admire those that do such an ambitious modification.

Painting the whole truck a different color is very daring to me. Not like you can just unbolt it and go back to stock.

When whats-his-name did his in that textured flat black I was amazed.

Looks like yours came out very nice as well.

It's pretty much tintless tint(lol), u can get pre cut pieces off EBay for pretty cheap just make sure it's the 3M stuff and nothing cheap.

I like the color and the headlights. Might look better with the grill color matched and do like a half or full evo.
