Baby Steps! Than that means I must be crawling like a baby. My mods compared to yours are seriously lacking BTW - it's looking good.

we used the less agressive 2 rock guards that our body shop stocks.

we then did a flat black, but then went over it with a semi gloss, to give it a little sheen

I painted my flares last weekend a flat black but I'm not sure if I want to put a clear coat on it unless there is a flat clear coat which I don't think they make lol but I dont want any shine I like the slight contrast. So it should be good with just the paint on there right? I did put 3 coats of primer and then 4 coats of flat black . I sure hope it's good that way if not looks like I may have to repaint it and do te semi gloss clear.


Anywho sweet looking truck I love it all blacked out like that I can't wait to see the times this baby puts up in the quarter mile haha

Next up is getting the graphics package ready on the truck. Our friends at GCI Digital here in Cincinnati, OH were up to the task of putting everything together on the truck.









Here is a video of our first trip out to the drag strip!

15.1 isn't that far from high 14's.

I was also staged in a little deep which will eat e.t.

 

[NickPic83]

15.1 isnt far but a few tenths is a decent difference but yeah if u staged deep then may of ruined the possibility of running 15 flat or a very high 14. either way sick truck for sure. nice work!

 

[beefcake]

Been slammed, but i thought i'd share a quick pick of the truck as it looks with the new Wicked Performance bumpers on!



Fit and finish are great!

The lights work really well too. Here is a comparison.

Here are the stock lights
