Blacked out...almost complete

Newest pics of my truck. I have blacked out the wheels and badges recently. I also switched out my Harley grill for a Saleen one. Should be adding a PTM rear bumper this Summer some time. As always, thanks to you guys for the inspiration and ideas. What do you guys think? Suggestions for my next mods?

For reference, here is a shot as close to stock as I have.

Your truck has come a long way. Looks really good. You should level it and put some 33-35s on there.

Looks really good, pulling the rear blocks on mine made a huge difference leveling it and cost nothing. Very nice i gotta get blacked out headlights now!!!!

I liked it better before... I think blackout is getting overdone now.

However, it does look good... maybe the blacked out Lariat wheels are what I am focusing on. You did a nice job on everything

Really need some suggestions for what I should do about the wheels and tires. Should be able to put about $2500 into them in 4-6 weeks.

What would you guys go with as far as wheel type/size and tire type/size??

It's getting there, but like mine, a bumper with foglights would improve it.

With that type of money you should be able to buy a decent set of tires and wheels. Look on your local Craigslist or the classifieds here, I am always seeing wheels for sale on Craigslist for darn near nothing but I like my factory 20s too much to pull the trigger on a set. I think 20s or 18s and a nice set of 33s will look good. But you will need to put a leveling kit on it.

Also I dont know if its the pictures but your headlights dont look black like the truck. They look like they are DSG or flat black. I dont know, maybe its just the glare...

To me, that truck needs Chrome wheels. I think a set of 20" Moto Metal 951's would look great with 33" tires
