Looks great now man!!
I just got done with mine too, still have to take some new pics and post them up. I painted my lower valance satin black to match the bumper cap, also peeled off the pinstriping and buffed all the lines out.
I think I'm done for a little while....I think.
Great work man! Your truck looks clean and mean now.
If you want to buff it out safely pm me and I tell you what I did. It was fairly easy and safe too.

Budhayes3, I bought a Milwaukee buffer polisher a while back and got a cleaner pad for it.
Washed the truck down good after debadging, then applied Mother cleaner wax with a very damp terry cloth covered sponge.
Buffed the hell out of the whole truck, then applied the wax straight with a clean towel and buffed again. Followed this up with the ICE for all the trim and plastic parts, works great for getting the wax dusy off of everything.
I still have some spots that are not perfect but I was afraid of buffing it our with any cutting agent waxes.

Thanks for the compliments everybody! I'm real happy with the way the truck came out. It's amazing how much of a difference a few relatively simple mods made. Aside from the wheels and tires, it was fairly cheap too. The lowering was less than $300 for Belltech keys, shackles, and some 2wd U-bolts, and the debadging was free, except for some time, a few blisters, a sunburnt back
, and 3M adhesive remover which I already had.
I'm gonna shoot you a PM when I get home from work TG02Z71, I'd definitely like to give it a shot myself to save a few bucks in paying someone else to do it. I stll have to make a bodyshop appt to have the rust around the wheel wells fixed (from where the mudflaps used to be), and have the tailgate straightened (from when it slammed open while driving down the road because I didn't have it latched all the way
). I also wanna ask you how and what you used to paint your lower valance, I plan to do the same thing. I like the idea of having it match the upper bumper cap...thanks man!
