Complete Paint Job/Aftermarket Decals/Headlights/Front and Rear Bumpers

[14 BlackScrew RR]

I'm a bit puzzled.
With all the things that you have found on that truck, and all that extra money you will be spending just to fix those thing that is not to your taste.
Why! Why don't you put that money on ice till you find one that meets your specs.
A good price plus anywhere from $4000.00 to $6000.00 on the conservative side, now just becomes a really BAD Price.
Just don't make a lot of sense to me.
Just my $0.02

I look at it like this, similar trucks, with similar miles are priced at least 6-8k more than this truck. At the end of the day I'll be paying close to the same price anyways. So why wouldn't I pick up this one and just add things on that are specific to my tastes?

I actually got in contact with Rappy, he quoted me a good price to wrap it and add decals, but he didn't mention how long the entire process would take. Any ideas?

Also, these are the headlights i'm deciding between. Thoughts?

If anyone has these specific headlights on their trucks post some pics please.

The SVC page won't load on my work computer, so i'll check some out when I get home.

It'll take him about a week to do your truck. That's after he sends you a rendering to show you what it's gonna look like so you can make sure its what you want and make any changes you think you might need. Josh does quality work and that takes a little time to do it the right way.

As for the headlights, get online and look for stock HID's. They are just headlights after all. Should be able to get a set for less than $700-800. And the stock lights are durable and a lot less finicky than any aftermarket lights. Spend the money you'll save buying and maintaining aftermarket headlights on some good LED spots or a light bar. My advice FWIW.......

Where should I look for a pair of the stock HID's? Would they fit like stock on a 2012?

Good luck with the buy and build hope it works well. My bumpers were easy. Paint is the way to go but expensive, pleeaseee don't go to MAACO. Headlights I would check local craigslist or ebay.

I personally love my projectors similar to this without the running lights:

Yeah, Maaco is out of the question. If I get the truck painted or wrapped I wouldn't try and skimp out and take it somewhere like that.

I've just about decided that I would keep the rear bumper, so that's not a huge issue anymore, but i'll still need to change the front.

Thoughts on these headlights?

I ordered a similar set for the wife's Tahoe and it was an easy install and performed well. I'm not a fan of the halos unless they are colored.

Yup, they'll fit. If you have halogens right now, you will need a few extra parts to get them fired up. But they will make your truck look so much better and the light output is spot on.
