LOL...gotta love the work in progress look Nice thing is that you have plans to get it finished immediately, instead of leaving it like that as a ricer would (FWIW, my wife's Matrix looks ghetto right now too...a truck tire retread jumped up and hit her at 80 mph and took off her r/f lower spoiler cap, 2 black inserts, and blew the fog lt...I have a bungee around the center section to keep it from flopping, and the 2 left over tabs from the broken spoiler cap still attached. I just used some rubbing compound and got rid of all the nasty black marks that were all over her front bumper and down the r/s of the car at least)

Looking forward to the pics of the finished product

BTW, what brand of rollpan is that?, I like it I plan on doing one myself real soon.

I think all trucks should have turndowns. I hate tailpipes!! Roll pan looks good. Which one is that?

Thanks for making me feel a little better, The rollpan is made by customclassics. Nothing but good so far with them, the pans good, they did send me the wrong light but a simple call fixed that.

Don't feel bad about being a little ghetto man. We have all went down the wrong path of appearance mods. Your back on the right one IMO.
I'm not even close to being done getting rid of bling crap, moldings, color matching stuff. Wish I'd spent money on good stuff instead ofcheap plastic ad ons thatt look ghetto, but you live and learn.
I bet your exhaust looked ok when you had the stock bumper on, but all good things take time to get done, especially when you have to keep driving it for work day to day. Can't wait to see it after the paints done.

Man, what posessed you? Those exhaust tips could hurt somebody lol. Seriously though, the rollpan looks good, and I'm glad to see you decided to change it up.

those tips are amazing!


Seriously. Are you planning on painting the bottom to the TG to complete the two tone. Would really make the rear end if you did IMO
