Let the fun begin!

Here's the molding just sitting up on the roof, a dry fit. Not an exact color match, but close enough!
Decision time:
Do I leave it the factory length and it will run up even with the front of the sunroof, or do I cut it so its the same length as the factory roof ribs, and end up with a splice in the middle of the molding? Any opinions?

Got the moldings installed. Decided to leave them full length instead of cutting a piece out of the middle and having a splice.
What do you guys think?

Lets get a side shot of the whole hoe so we can see how it looks while approaching it.

Hey.... when you dremel the molding, what bit you use?

A real small reamer bit. I wasn't real precise with the holes. I just set the molding on the roof marked where I needed to ream the holes and just made them a little bigger. There was plenty of play depth wise. Just have to be careful not to poke through other side.

Looks like it was me. LOL.
The link you sent me looked different from the one I sent you, different part of the site....

Yeah, that truck was my other inspiration.
Thanks for the compliment. It's nice to get some praise on here. The 'necks around here where I live don't appreciate a modded truck unless its jacked up to the moon on mud tires.
Me- "Check out my new truck, I lowered it and put 24s on it."
Buddy ('neck)- "Huh, wonder what it would like like with a lift kit and some boggers?"
