Looks a lot better. Less stickers the better, I've learned. I'm even about to lose the small "PerformanceTrucks.net" sticker I have, because anybody and everybody that sees it wants to race. I'm afraid I'm gonna blow my tranny up lately lol.

I have 5% over stock tint on back glass and back side windows, and 20% on front sides. I love it. I've never been stopped for tint, and I've never had any problems getting it inspected. There are 2 shops I use for illegal tint, and each will give you a list of shops who will inspect it.

This is Texas. It's ******* hot. Even the cops have limo tint on their cars.

PT.net sticket may draw unwanted attn. from thieves & cops too. I can see it now, u say, "I swear officer, that wasn't my loud exhaust & I wasn't racing".
He looks back to see a pair of black marks behind your truck, then u get some popcorn & watch it on his in-car recorder.
He says, "please start truck." Burble-burble.

Thanks fellas! I'm working on the tail gate handle now, got some Dupli-Color to match close to the color. It's going to be off a tad. I'll post the pictures when I'm done.

Just finished the tail gate handle. It's a hot one today!






And another side shot just because. All pictures were taken with my iPhone, so not the best.


I need to clean the truck.
