Default Fighting the BLING

I am fighting the bling. I dont have alot of money so getting wheels, radix,fans,headers,and lowering kit all at the same time is out . I have some mods but who notices. I drove to sonic on car show night and I might as well took the wifes van. I know it would be cool to continue the sleeper track, but its hard to resist.Any input is welcome.

Bling > *

You can get away w/ a little bling on a truck and keep it a sleeper. The fact that it's a truck is what makes it a sleeper, not what you've done appearance wise. People almost expect good looking trucks to be slower than a "show" truck.

Throw a mild drop and some 20s or 22s on there, get some paint matched Tahoe or Escalade handles, maybe a billet grille. Just do a few little things to clean up the appearance without going overboard and you'll be happy I'm sure.

I agree with this guy....get you some really deep spoked 20's and don't slam it, but drop it enough to get a mean stance and do a few other little body mods and your set...

my thoughts exactly screw visual bling. If anything paint a mural on your tailgate cause thats what you would be showing them.

Had to do it. $$$ was right, little bling can't hurt right.
