Lookin' good. Ever consider painting the license plate lights and that spare tire cover thingy to match? And maybe those two black weatherstrip pieces on the top/rear part of the cab.

Yea, I have some pewter touch up paint I bought from the dealership awhile back, so I"m going to put it on them and hopefully it will come out alright.
I'll probably take it back when I get some more cash and have them paint the cowl by the windshield wipers.

I got it done at a place called "Lil Ikes" off of navigation / 71st and Ave C

He told my friend with an 03 chevy he could color match everything for $175 and have it done the same day if you drop it off to him in the morning.
(maybe he's quoting a friend's discount, but in my eyes, everyone that is on this site I consider a friend and will be more than happy to hook up)

there was some light sanding done, but not to where its completely smooth.
My main concern was getting the paint to stick and color match.
