Which looks better?

Yes, it's dirty. It's been raining.

Opinions on what looks better?

Re: Which looks better?

I felt like I was in the dentist's office reading one of those "highlights" kid's magazines trying to find the difference in the two pics for a minute, then read jkirn's comment...

I agree - mucho better with the trim.

Re: Which looks better?

Same here.
I couldn't see it at first.
Scrolled down and read jkirn's post, scrolled back up and instantly agreed.
2nd pic looks better.
It completes it.

Re: Which looks better?

I played the same game yesterday and lost! I thought it was the resolution of the pictures!
I won't vote because I couldn't see the difference in the first place. Any one know a good eye doctor? LOL

Re: Which looks better?

It's pretty basic a slight offset with 2 screws to mount it. With a 3 pieces of sheet metal, if you clamp the piece you want in the center, with a second piece on one side on one end and the third on the other side on the other end and clamp this in a vise it will create a nice offset for you. Or if your lucky enough to have a brake well then you already know.

________________ ...................

then clamp

and you should get

Re: Which looks better?

If you are trying to make subtle changes to make your truck look better, try finding a set of older chevy small diameter hubcaps, using some of the older spring clips dirll and tap some bolt holes in you centerlines to mount the old chrome hubcaps (like delmo did on his trucks) I think it could look pretty cool and not be ridiculously expensive.
