Thanks for input guys.

Blue04. That looks great. I have some photochopped front ends and one had a black valance... I'd forgotten how good that looked.

Okay boss!

30 seconds to pull the window visors. Two hours to get the dang sticky tape off.

i really think it would look cleaner if you took off the pinstripe and ditched the fender flares, im sure they are functional, but it would look much better IMO

Paint the bumper cap, Why dont you put a grille on it. I like the way they look all flushed out in the fornt end. And if you do a rollpan, i would shave the tailgate handle as well.

Lookin good man, I really like the plan for evening out the bottom color all around. Not sure about color matching the wheels though...as for the exhaust, I say dump it and hide the tips once the roll pan is on...if for some reason you keep the rear bumper I'd keep the exhaust the way it is, it's pretty cool looking
