Default Pics of truck after recent paint

So I was at my dads for spring break and snapped some recent pics of his truck after paint/etc......I feel there's one major WEAK link to his truck, try to guess it.(hint: one of the last photos)(What should fill that spot?!?)
Before paint...


After...(Needs a good detailing, this was just a wash)





Gotta love them 29x15.5x15's



AHHHH!!!!!!

P.S.- Some of you may have seen this on fullsizechevy.com already.

Looks great.

I'm not a fan of the euros either. I also say a roll pan could clean things up in the back, too.


Makes me wish I could get some work done on mine.

Yeah, he picked up the euros because the stock red ones were oxidized/faded. I think I'm going to buy him some new stock ones though to see if it looks better. He loves his bumpers too, haha, don't think they're going anywhere. He just bought that front one because the old one wasn't "shiny" enough for him.LOL. What kind of engine do you guys think would go well in that truck? I say LQ9, he says ram jet 502...

That's what I'm saying! He can have a pretty built 6.0L, FI, and be running pretty good times for probably less money then the ram jet. Not to mention it will probably be more reliable too. That 305 sounds good with the bump stick and 4 in. dumped exhaust, but it has no power!!!
