Current project, some side skirts

 

man it looks like you have heart but just need a lil direction. i like what your doing but there's a couple things you could do to really "tighty" your truck up a lil bit. (IMO) anyways i think you should loose the colorado ss badge on the dash , just looks very tacky , get rid of the ebay projector halos and put the stockers back on or just get a clear corner lens, loose the blue elbows for black elbows i think it really takes away from your turbo sitting right there its just really busy and you should change out the intake to the turbo and keep it true to the size off of the turbo cause you are choking that thing out with that reducer on there big time, you will see a big difference if you did and last thing either slam that thing or get bigger meats on those rims . keep up the hard work.

 

Hmm

Little to much painted red interior, looks cheesy IMO.

bet it scoots with that turbo though. Any track times?

 

I agree with above, I would look into a 245/45 or 245/50. I think that would fill the wheel wells out better. Not a big fan of body kits on trucks, dont care much for painted interiors, and the blue under the hood doesnt seem to match the truck at all.

However, it is your truck and you should mod it the way you want. Just expect to get a lot of opinions about it because, well, thats why you posted right?

 

this is correct, for the tires, it's the tires that came on the wheels when I bought them from a guy for $650, when they wear down, i'll go to a 40 or 45, not much room to go higher, they already rub the wells on the front.

As for the blue under the hood, it stands out, black would just fade in with the rest of the black plastic under the hood which I've seen already and didn't like. Not going for a stock look at all so painted interior pieces bring out the boring interior of these colorado/canyon trucks.

and ak2007r6, no track times yet, wanna try to make it to the track at least once this summer. only thing I know is that it's making somewhere over 300 to the wheels and it's a blast to drive, mustang owners don't stand a chance lol

 

I bet the honda civic guys loooove this truck! Everything on this truck is way to loud IMO but I like everything boring and clean I guess. Any vids of the truck running or WOT pulls?

 

made a burnout video last week
burning off some old tires, so I can get some type of street drag radials for the stock 17's

i have a friend thats into the whole mini truckin' thing and this follows suit pretty well with the painted interior , small tires, body kits , etc... only thing its missing is bags ... lol

 

i would bag it if it wasn't such a bitch to do...the guys that have done it say it's one of the hardest trucks to do

 

Lol

Clean is not boring, it just works and looks good.

I would have done at least red fittings under the hood. Nothing on your truck is blue except those fittings now and looks very tacky.

I would wrap everything that red inside in a 3m vinyl at least. Would look 100x better
