A few changes...nothin major. And I just wanted to put some pics up cause she's freshly clean!

I put 3 coats of Nite Shades on the orange reflectors in the mirrors. Big fan of this, I couldn't stand the bright orange. Also Put a couple coats of Nite Shades around the edge of the harley tails as I didn't like the clear edge of the tails. I also took the FX4 sticker off...Definitely gives it a cleaner look. Next spring after her first Cleveland Winter I'll probably do some bigger stuff.

My First attempt at Niteshading...they turned out OK

hey, I live in Hudson, do you mind if I ask where you got your windows tinted at and how much did it cost? I've got the same truck (minus the lux package) and the tint really looks sharp!

The guy I go to has a shop in Westlake, OH called Bullitt Proof Performance. He has a guy that comes in once a week and does tint for him and he does an excellent job, doesn't leave any gap at the top of the window at all. Dude's name is Jon Sabo. His number is 440-376-7694

Nice Truck! I love all the mods! If you don't mind me asking, why did you take off the running boards?

I just ordered those LEDs! Thanks for the links, I was looking locally but they were sort of hard to find. I'll be installing them this weekend.

My truck never had running boards. I honestly don't mind it but everybody who gets in my tuck bitches about it

If I do any kind of running boards in the future it will be either amp steps or n-fab bars. Depends on how the lift/wheel/tire selection goes next year.

More info on spraying the edges of the Harley tails please. Did you spray it from the back side? I have a set waiting to be installed. Thanks.

Probably gonna change all the exterior lights to LED's next. I just love the way these things look, don't even compare to the stock filament bulbs!
Glad it inspired you .

You will love the exterior lights in LED, the bed lamps, plates, mirror puddles, it will make it look like its worth $10k more than it is, looks incredible at night.

I just masked off the entire taillight besides the edge with blue painters tape. Then I sanded the edges with 500 grit sandpaper, hit them with a couple coats of nite shades, sanded some more, hit them with some clear coat and buffed em out a little.
