Photoshop request

I dont know if this is the right forum, but can somebody photoshop raptor wheels/tires, my chrome grille red, and an ADD bumper onto my truck? I want to get a feel for the red grille before I decide to go through with it. You can use any of the photos in my gallery.

Brazz, it might help your cause if ya posted pics of the parts you want shopped.

I wanted the wife to paint the baseboards in the house, and asked her to do it in her spare time. I didn't get done until I went to the store and bought the paint, tape, brushes, ect........

Oh, and eventually I had to paint them myself too.

Here are your requests except I wasn't sure what you wanted done with the bumper?

I'd go with a different grill, too much red on the front end IMO. Maybe get a new fx2/4 grill with the painted surround.

I'm assuming you are going to add a level to fit the 34's on the raptor wheels?

Thanks rangerick! Looks amazing!

My plan is to have the black ADD bumper break up the red. And since I don't have any other chrome left on the truck I think it will pull together nicely. I wanted to paint all black trim red including the entire mirror, but it was too expensive to do. So I think I'm just going to get the grille matched, throw on the ADD and raptor wheels/tires for now. Possibly by the end of October early November.

Yes, Ive already purchased a 2.5 AS a while back, just waiting to purchase the rest of the stuff, that way it will be more dramatic when the whole truck gets done at once. My end goal is full blown brenthel bolt on from bajakits.com and possibly fiberglass.

I'm already running 4.56 gears on my stock wheels and tires and I have a VMP XCAL 3.... October or November I will be done with it.

Your welcome. I did a search for ADD bumpers and this is what I came up with. (one of many possibilities)

Holy crud, you're awesome! Thats the one i was looking at. Thank you so much.

I sold those side steps the week after I bought my truck. Im not a fan of chrome unless it fits in well, and in the case of my plans, it wont. Kind of an oxy-moron for somebody that bought an XLT. Haha.

Good news is that I contacted Brenthel about sponsorship so I can get a hook up on the long travel kit and then I dont have to waste time with putting on the leveling kit, or spending an outrageous amount of money on factory raptor wheels so the 35 will fit. I really want the 17x9 Method Race wheels, but I'm concerned that with a 0 offset that they will not fit no matter how much I cut.

I have seen 04-08 2wd's with no level and the 315/70/17 (raptor size tires) with no rub marks. I didn't not get to talk to the owners tho, just ran across a couple over the past few years in parking lots. Those tires have a very narrow tread pattern, IIRC under 11". BFG is way off on their measurements on their AT/KO's. If you had to choose a certain tire to squeeze in with an aftermarket wheel these are the tires to have the best possible chance.

I had an 08 2wd, 2.5" level, 35x12.5x18 Toyo MTs and 18x9.5 VTEC Raptors. They rubbed a little, and I had to cut. So Im not worried about the rubbing with OEM Raptor wheels and BFGs. I am worried, however, about 17x9 Methods rubbing with BFGs as they stick out WAAAAAY more. But if I can get my hands on a Long travel kit instead there wont be any compromise.

I feel like I should copy right this so nobody can steal my idea.... I'm trying to be different. Not follow the crowd. I've never actually seen a true prerunner anywhere near where I live, so I'm hoping that I can start a new trend down in south Texas. True performance, not just useless looks and 9" exhaust tips.

I like the look. I also have been looking at the Raptor wheels but I think I like the 2012's a little better. The black would look better with the black accents that my White FX4 already has. Also looking at the 2012 Raptor running boards but so far cant find those
