(of course alot was sanded off to get rid of the massive paint lines and make it look like glass!)

impressive!

texasfunk · 11-05-2009, 01:09 AM

heres some updates! almost finished putting it back together!

Looking good. Don't forget to put the door handles back on before the windows get rolled up.

What does it have for brake lights now? LED strips hidden?

sailed2japan · 11-05-2009, 02:55 PM

Have you thought about painting the headlights and directionals with spray on tint? You can also use a mix of your paint and clear to hide them behind the grill.

You're going to hate me. Did you narrow the rear bumper so the ends tuck nice to the box side? I just put the sport bumper on my truck and was a little disappointed with the fit. I think it looks like it will catch people off the side walk as I drive by. I ask since you painted yours and don't have to worry about the chrome if it is cut down.

dont worry, we have the handles covered! lol, and yea, it has a led strip between the tailgate and back bumper, and we did think abt painting the lights, but figured, eh, gotta leave something without paint, and no, the bumper isnt narrowed, just stock,

flamingbig10 · 11-05-2009, 07:44 PM

Slick17 · 11-06-2009, 11:36 AM

smashingchuck · 11-06-2009, 12:07 PM

I'm actually kinda diggin' the look but the front end is making my nose bleed!
