Default Before/After - Fully Colormatched Red '05

I just got my truck back from the paint shop, and man this thing looks awesome now! When I bought the truck in 2007, I didn't take any "before" photos, but here are some pictures I got off of Google for reference (truck is identical to what mine looked like when I bought it):

BEFORE:



And after 4 years of hard work and money...

AFTER:





I think the truck is about where I want it looks-wise, except maybe some different wheels. Now it's time for the fun stuff...

Let me know what you think!

I love the full colormatch man, cleans up very well, I'd recommend some clear lights up front with no amber turn signals though.

Thanks for the compliments, guys.

I failed to mention this, but the grille mesh, radiator supports, and tow hooks have a fresh coat of flat black paint on them, too. I also kept the front lower lip spoiler black, too.

...now if I could just find some SS 20s!!
