Not feeling it too much right now. I think your truck needs some aftermarket wheels to tie everything together. A nice set of chrome 22's would really make that truck one of a kind.

i think it does look a lot better, much cleaner, and the chrome accents the other chrome on the car.. One mod at a time.. Nice work..

i agree about the rims...they look pretty bad...but the roof rack and vent covers look nice. now just clean it up a little with a little less overdone chrome (gas tank door and what appears like a chrome plastic top piece on the front bumper- but i hope im wrong)... but im feelin the direction u are goin. and it helps me too. i have been looking for a rack for the XL and the vent covers but we have the stock (not those rims, the later ones) rims too and it just doesnt look right to do it that order...i'll focus on rims first but then ill be copying the rack and vents someday

Nice ride. Getting my vent caps on Monday. Yea deffinently need some rims. It would give it a hole different look, and maybe even a mild drop. Just an idea

Looking forward to it evolving. Like has been stated if you cleaned it up a little with few of the chrome accents outside of the esky upgrades would clean it up a lot. Not big on the gas tank door, bumper cap or the mirrors for that matter. If all those were body color to where the only extra chrome were the esky rack, side molding and some nice rims you'd be in business :waytogo:

LOVE the rack on there. I think the color goes well with it. I'm definitely putting that on the todo list.

Nice start man! It looks good! Personally I would de-mould/de-badge it. The NBS looks very clean without em. Some NNBS factory 20's/22's would clean it up nicely too :)

:laughing1: That actually surprises me a bit. We've got similar tastes but they are just different enough there's usually subtle differences in our opinions in this area :D
