They still need to be primed and painted.

More to come soon.

Thanks guys. I ordered the exhaust parts and pipes also the rear bumper lenses so they should be here in a week or so.

I'm also have decided to light it up as well. I'm trying to decide on how many lights I will require.

You need as many as you can squeeze on. Light up the living with it. You going with led or fiber optic? Looking great.

I'm looking at the Led tape light strips 12 volt system. I was thinking the 60 led's per meter. They have 3 led's per every 2 inches and you can cut it there from what I have read . I want all the lights to be hidden under the truck until it's turned on. It's making my brain hurt trying to measure and calculate how many Led's I will need.

Thanks to all for your comments.

I had to redo the exhaust as it was not working for me. I have it now painted and installed in place. A little two part poxy did the trick nicely. I have the pipes from the turbos all tucked in nice and tight to the frame and now the hood issues are no more. Finally the hood closes with out scraping the pipes.
