Default New Paint, New pics

I just about got all my parts back from the painter. I bought just about everything ready to paint except the tailgate handle and bezel. I sanded that myself and it came out great! In addition to what you see, I have a Sir Micheals roll pan and a ******** tonneau that need to go on, but I am waiting on hardware from both. I also have a wiper cowl and some engine covers still at the painter.

On the hood, I didn't have them cut the scoop open because this is my daily driver and I didn't want to get water all over the engine bay. I plan to have a decal cut to put in the scoop to make it look like its open. Anyways enjoy.

...and one of the tailgate handle/bezel. The badges will be coming off soon and when I get the roll pan on, the exhaust will be redone and hidden. The reason the trailer hitch isn't off yet, the exhaust hangers are welded to it.

The lower airdam is from truckmaster designs. I ended up purchasing it through summitracing, best price I could find. As far as the tailgate cap, I do actually have a smooth one that will go on when the cover goes on. The only reason I am doing that is to cover the factory holes. It is painted to match also. I would have loved to shave the gate, but funds wouldn't allow me to do so yet. Thanks for all the compliments.
