Going to look sick though, I'm just hoping the 22's don't make me look ghetto.

The slides won't look ghetto unless you get 24"-26" ones in chrome.

to an extent, if it piles on. although pollen is dust, it's very rough/abrasive if you magnify it



removing it the wrong way could scratch the hell out of your paint.

edit wow that pic showed up huge

Looks like a bunch of donut holes, sponges, and those stupid rubber bouncy ball things that they fill with water that have spikes on them.

Did a little mod on the truck today. I decided to try the heat-gun trick to restore the black in the plastic.

Just to show the difference, the passenger side is done.


Had to show a picture to prove that the wife isn't the only one working on the truck!

Just get a heat gun, mine has a low and high setting, turn it on high, put it close to the plastic and it should bring the color back. I seen it on youtube. It got rid of all the white fades. Only thing it didnt work on was the tailgate and rear window trim.
