highway Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Pat, I normally don't like trucks like this (sorry, I think trucks are for working ), but I must say I think you spiked the "COOL" meter! I'm guessing you have LEDs in back for taillights under the tailgate, right? As for color, have you thought just pounding out the dent in the passenger fender and leaving it the way it is? That color just seems to fit the truck, and looks great as is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvette.Jeff Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 i love 88'-98' chevy trucks, i have a 3500 dually thats been slammed, i still gotta drop the rear down another 2" to get it to sit level though. i can post a picture if ya want, these body style trucks do look good bagged.

I know I've been wanting to find one I seen on another truck in my area for my big toy that would mount right in the space under your tailgate that works as taillights and brake lights, plus has amber LEDs for turn signals. All you'd be missing is backup lights! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moparmagiclives Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 double 5%, why so dark? Its going to be hell driving at night. your cell phone goes off and you wont be able to see out of the windows from the flash back... Looks good though. Leave the paint and do something like this. This is 35, cut and then 35 layed over the top. so the darkest spots are a little darker than 20 and the light is just 35. This is my old neon, It looks even better on trucks with a big back window. I have some of a mazda I did if you want to see them. just pm your email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
