I assume you have paint matched door handles?

I would get some PIAA bulbs for the headlights. The tips have a blue coating and when you look at your headlights from an angle on or off they have a blue tint. Plus at ight you have full on white lights which are a ton brighter than stock.... This is if you don't already have HIDs.
ive got the silvania silverstars in all the front end. headlights and turn signals. and yes the door handles were paint matched. the tailgate handle is shaved too. id like to fill in the steak holes in the bed and get a tonneau cover sometime soon.

Truck looks awesome! I don't know if I'd change anything. For some reason, I was expecting it to be silver. What color is that?...It's so shiny, its hard to tell in the picture.

LMAO!

The pic isn't bad BADMOFO... Just really look at cars in magazines and notice the angles they use. Most shots look best at a 3/4 front or rear angle.

I'll show you what I mean with these shots I took this weekend.

Look at these 2 pics (bad IMO but I suck at pictures also). You'll notice it is the same 3/4 angle but height is changed. It makes a big diff. in the pic IMO.





Or here where it's a similar angle but in the 2nd pic the shot is taken lower so the truck looms larger and seems more imposing and the simple addition of water in the foreground changes the whole look.





Sorry for attacking your thread man. I just thought this might help someone to end up taking great pics like you did.

Hell I'm still practicing. I'm getting better though.
