It is looking badass man! I think you should go flat or semi-gloss black on the paint!

heck i really dont mind the black hood/grill/bumper. just put on some 5% tint, paint the roof black and put a black leather bed cover on it and call it done. i wont do that though lol. too many people would think it's an unfinished project.

Some more paint matching and wiring up the new frt facia. All of this black up front sure is making me want to paint the truck satin black...

gotta keep the front plate. it doesnt bother me. 1 less thing to get a ticket for. maybe i will get one of the black texas plates if i decide to paint the truck satin.

hell, wrapping is just as expensive as paint, but they can't get my door jambs. i was quoted 2k to wrap. a single stage paint wouldnt be much more.

i'm giving tint a shot for the first time this weekend. bought some 3m 5% precut from ebay and watched a few youtube videos on tinting. maybe a first time paint job will be next.
