Either Vista should look good.

With all of the mods, it looks like all your hard work will pay off in the end.
I think it looks really awesome. That rendering is sweet.

Think you could shave the front turn signals and tail lights?

Also I wasn't planning on running all the chrome trim (around the windshield and above the wheel wells) but now you're making me second guess.

I went ahead and 'removed' the windshield trim and filled in the other side marker.

I left some trim to give it some flash with all the black (and dark shadows) and to compliment some of the chrome and billet aluminum. I got the markers and tails shaved in the second chop as well.

Either way, it'll look good.

Re: Wheels decisions - poll

Hey box rods thanks a lot. It's cool to see the light at the end of the tunnel!

I like the chrome on there, but I've always been a minimalist when it comes to truck customizing! Plus, I've already welded all the fender well holes shut, and I just got my rubber kit last week!

I really appreciate your time on the photoshops!

Well, we had a happy accident.
Yeah, these chops are courtesy of your truck.

You're very much welcomed. It was my pleasure. (I just didn't want to steal any of your thunder once you finish it.) I give you guys credit for hacking up a truck in the spirit of customizing and following it to the end. P'chopping pales in comparison, but it does serve a purpose.

BTW, nice avatar.
