i'd lower it a bit, color match the bumpers and handles and thats about it. the black wheels will tie into the dark windows, black grill insert, lower valance and rear bumper plactic and the chrome mirror caps will tie into the chrome grill

Thats exactly the way ive always thought about it. I dont like just one theme. To me its just boring. I believe every vehicle should have something to break it up.

I like the hood and bowtie and agree that the door handles and mirror frames would look better color-matched, but I'm not a fan of black wheels on white vehicles...honestly not a fan of black wheels in general...

I know this has been said a million times but color match your mirror caps and handles. I like the truck though. I kind of dig those rims, different than everyone else. I like that.

Theres a reason the nicer trucks colormatch all the black plastic, and its because it looks good. Its basically a must have on a clean ride. When I see a truck with all the factory black abs junk, even with a drop and nice wheels I'm just like ok.....next......

Try a custom paint job or something else to break it up, or a cowl hood with/without stripes, not a black handle on a white truck.

Need new license plate.
Need to paint the mirrors.
Need to fix dents.
Need to go lower, but I understand why you cant.
Those SS emblems on the door or whatever they are need to go.

As for the "I usually dont care what others think" of course you do. Whats the point of having anything nice if noone else likes it. Sure, I like my truck a lot and wouldnt change it up just because one person said so, but if the general consensus was that lowered trucks were ugly as hell I'd go with whatever was popular.

I mean yeah you could have a 1972 Crown Vic Country Squire (station wagon) and think its the bomb and be real happy with it, but everyone else thinks your freakin forrest gump.

Anyways nice truck its halfway there. At least you can say its fast, I cant say that for mine

Lol who in the world said it was fast? I plan on getting rid of dents but ive always worked inside out and body and paint work isnt cheap. I am getting a cowl hood prolly this weekend and wanna do strips but not sure what color.

If you were closer to me it would be cheap.

When I heard turbo I thought fast. At least faster than no turbo
