Default Truck Exterior, Finally!

Last year was all about making my truck go fast and since I pretty much have that where I want it I am now concentrating on the exterior. I havent done much to make my truck look good since I bought it Brand New back in 2000 except for the 2"-4" hotchkis tvs kit, tahoe grille, & painted bowtie emblem. My truck is currently at a local shop getting all of the body work & paint done. I have a new hood, bumpercover w/ speed grille inserts,painted grille w/ speed grille inserts, painted mirrors, painted door handles, removed side molding & emblems, rollpan molded into the bed sides, shaved tailgate handle, upgraded brakes, 20" wheels. I will be keeping my truck the same color as it was because I love that color(Victory Red), the reason he is pretty much repainting the whole truck is because I wanted the stone chips fixed and when I looked there seemed to be one chip on about every panel on the truck. I will keep posting pictures as more become available, I am very excited if you cant tell. I need a second full time job just to keep up with all the badass trucks on here.

Thanks for looking.

I don't know, I thought the rough, sanded, primered look was working.

I'd go with the Victory Red as well, especially since that's what it is originally. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

It should be done in a couple weeks, I told him to take his time because I am in no rush. This weekend he said everything was in primer and he was going to start painting sometime this week. Needless to say but I am very excited! I'll post more pictures as I get them. Later.
