Thanks much, fellers!

I don't mind a bit. The front bumper was a different scenario because I was hit in a Walgreens parking lot by a real punk of a kid. Thought it scratched the chrome bumper, but it didn't. Either way, good ol' insurance paid to have a PTM bumper put on.

I paid $300 for the grill and rear bumpers to be painted. The shop did a great job and guaranteed their work for 3 years.

Thankee, bud! More to come... Got any ideas?

Thanks, Pap! I agree. It doesn't take much for these trucks to really "pop". Sometimes, less is more.

Many thanks, hydro! I noticed that about the wheels, too and wondered the same thing about the bigger tires being the cause. Although, bigger tires sometimes make bigger wheels look smaller. Not sure how that works.

I appreciate the compliments, folks!

Here are some pics of the leather interior. The local shop did a really nice job on the install. Everybody thinks it's factory leather. To be honest, I like it a little better than factory leather. I was lucky enough to be able to negotiate the leather/heated seats as part of my deal.

 

Lookin good buddy! I really like how the grille turned out, now you just need a bada** hood to set it off!

 

Lookin' real clean Dewser! Merely a few suggestions - loose the 4x4 sticker, plasti-dip rims, FX4 dark grey running boards (2012's), paint the perimeter of the heads/tails black or just get FX4 heads/tails. Or don't do anything cuz she looks real purdy.

Any reason you went with the 2" spacer over the bilstein 5100's?

I really like the batch of lightly modded trucks that guys have done recently on this site, very tasteful and not over the top.

 

Oh and remove that orange thingamabob onza mirror

 

Thanks, bud! I've been looking into different hoods. Haven't found one I love yet.

Thankee, cheef! The 4x4 sticker is as good as gone, and I've been kicking around the idea of dipping the rims until I decide/save up for wheels. I'd love to have the FX4 running boards, but I haven't had any luck finding any yet.

I'll be baking and painting my heads soon. I'm also trying to fight off the nearly unbearable urge to buy the '13 OEM HID heads in black. The FX4 tails are on order.

The spacer is cheaper, and my dealer said he could "hide" the spacer in the event of a front end warranty claim, but not with aftermarket shocks, etc.

Will be doing at the same time I paint the heads.

Thanks again, fellers!

 

Mind reader Dewser?

 

Nah! Great minds think alike.
