Default New truck pics

So I didn't get to actually see the truck until after I bought it, but I knew it would be nice. Just how nice I didn't know until I saw it, and I absolutely love it. It was way better looking than I had imagined. I wanted to put new wheels on it, but the Chrome looks really nice. I think I am going to wait to see just how bad traction is after the mods and make a decision. I have a feeing I will need better tires for starters, but I won't know how much wider I need to go until after. I only plan on the conservative 45hp tune atm, so good tires might be good enough.

Its only a 2WD truck, so I don't have any plans on getting too extreme on performance, just a conservative tune, exhaust for a nice tune, wheels, bed cover, custom painted mud flaps (damn rear fenders are already dirty and I only put 30 miles on it!) front window tint, and then whatever else I think of later on.

Anyone have any ideas on mud flaps? It's so hard to make them look nice on a vehicle unless you get really good, molded ones.

I would just get some factory ones and pain them. I have considered doing this to the factory ones on my truck.

Yeah, I hate going with the factory, but I have a feeling that a body part like this will be best from them due to it being molded perfectly.

Fiberglass look and fit better? Not familiar with it on mud flaps.

Well if you are up for the challenge I was saying you could make your own out of fiberglass. There is lots of info out there on fiberglass and how to work it.
