Default Rear end conclusion

Well I got the rear of the truck finished finally. I got the truck back from the paint shop thursday and finished putting all the parts back on today. I had the tailgate sprayed along with the tailgate handle, bezel, tailgate cap, and all bumper plastic. Everything turned out great and the body shop I went to will definitely get my business again. Here's a few pics of the transformation.

Started out with my original roll pan and tailgate.


Then I bought a new (salvaged) tailgate.


Here are the results of going back to the stock setup but with all the plastics painted to match.

Yeah, I'll be switching to some 03 tails in the future.

So did you just get tired of the look! I like what you have done. No offense, but I really did not like it before.

had a cool custom look to it before, but now it looks more sophisticated, and still looks very clean, an definite upgrade IMO
