That is a lot cheaper than the sites I saw it on. Street Scene never responded to my emails on where to buy them at, but that looks pretty good! Thanks for the link!

so with that cover do you lose your tow hooks and fog lights? Or do you lights end up behind the lower grills?

Update - June 7th. Daughters 2nd B-Day today!!!!!

Front Emblem was painted black with two coats of clear over that. Tail lights we also sprayed with 4 coats of black translucent/clear base mix, then 2 coats of clear coat over that. Total Cost = $40.00 McConnell Auto Body.







Got a good Line on some Black Painted Side Mirrors too. My Mechanic buddy wants my chrome ones, so he is going to have McConnell repaint the black ones that he has and we are going to swap them out! WOOT!!

Nice man keep it up. Should look pretty slick.

I have seen some black chrome grill inserts that look pretty good. Just a thought instead of powdercoating the flame stuff. Just a thought.

Much Better!! Get a roll pan, shave your tailgate, Color matched door handles, Color matched mirrors, and ditch the chrome gas tank cover and it'll look better IMO. Good job on the truck
