Progress is great so far! Love the taillights. Paint is coming along nicely! That flex machine is legit! I wanna add one to my detailing gear for the summer to use for my business. But they are pricey! Definitely worth the money though.

Thanks, the flex machine is by far the best orbital buffer I've ever used! It put my porter cable to shame, but you get what you pay for. I'm very O.C.D. when it comes to my paint and not seeing any orange peel when you look on a certain angle

I entered my other truck in a car show last summer after using the flex buffer and got a trophy for best paint and a few other things. Here are a few pics after using the flex

Do you by chance have any pictures of the side showing your tow mirrors without the lights on? I'm trying to decide what tow mirrors I will be getting.

Much better fully debadged and the lights look great . Props for having the balls that most don't have to hack up brand new lights, but in the end was totally worth it.:waytogo:

Thanks, it's a fairly easy mod... but it would of been much easier if I didn't drop all my dremel cut off wheels in the sewer lol:D

Gotta late start today due to rain...today I focused on the interior of the Hoe, the stock seats made me absolutely sick to my stomach to sit on thanks to the PO(butcher/slob) I threw on some new seat covers and painted all the seat bases black

The best part of the seat covers is that I'm not grossed out to lean my head on the head rest anymore! They make my tint look a lot darker and have an additional 1/4'' of foam thickness that makes driving the Hoe a lot more comfortable

I also threw on a new red punisher skull into the rear tow hitch including a new hitch lock so no one steals it...gotta love living in NY. I added a night time pic of the led tail lights but I couldn't for the life of me get rid of the red glare

These will do until I can get a set of power/leather seats. I also can't wait to rip out the filthy carpet and install the new black molded carpet

Seat covers actually don't look that bad. Try and figure out a filler piece for under the seat belt area.
And yes you need a new phone or camera lol.

They actually included a giant cover for the center console where the arm rest is which I will not put on because it will look stupid IMO. I may look into cutting it up and sewing it in place to cover that gap

My iPhone has been dropped, kicked and launched across the room by my daughter numerous times... she just turned 3 so it may be safe to finally upgrade and not see a shattered screen anymore lol

Took advantage of another warm day and installed a 12'' led light bar in the grille. I may install another two 6'' led light bars on the lower half of the grille even though I have a black mesh grille on order.
