shouldve done away with the side molding and the white lettering on the tires just looks tacky IMO

but i drive an old abused 91 toyota pickup and im all about clean lines (minus the battle scars and dents, each tells a story)

/e and im not a fan of plasti, if youre gonna paint it, take the time to either rattle can it nicely or get it sprayed at at a place for a few extra dollars... plasti is made to be peeled of easy, which means itll naturally fall of easily too.

/e2 still a really nice truck though, not here just to hate :P


I was at one point gonna remove the molding but I decided to leave it in there. Its only coming off now if I decide to have to the rockers sprayed with bedliner.

I LOVE white letter tires, I think they look good on any vehicle, but that's me.
This was my first time doing plasti dip, honestly I'm not a fan of it either but I bought a few cans a while back so I'm gonna use em for now. Plasti dip is actually pretty durable though, and it's forgiving stuff to work with unlike paint.

Im gonna dip the mirrors and maybe grill (if I dont buy another) for now, may do it right and paint them later or just buy new mirrors.

As always, different strokes for different folks lol.

with the black and red theme you have going, i'd say spend the extra 20$ and get a red bow tie too, my cousing just bought a red 02 2500 and the red bow tie looks beautiful.

i stick with white and black and hate anything like chrome and shiny, but currently my rims are polished aluminum which is driving me insane, but when you pay 120$ for a set of 4 american racing rims, you dont complain about color ;)

As for the grill you could always just go with something aftermarket. Something like this black badgeless grill (this site has a few different types but feel free to look around)

i think the only good plasti colors are like NEON bright colors and black lol.

but yeah my truck is going to be storm trooper with blue lighting accents.

blue LED whip for the glamis sand dunes, maybe some underglow to match it
