Default took a few pics

Finally got around to taking a few pics. I know, I know - it needs to be lowered. I dont think I will color match. I like the contrast and it does match the rest of the trim. Yes, they are 285/65/16.

Looks good. It sounds like you don't want to do this but I would color match the bowtie and debadge the tailgate. I wouldn't do anything after that. How are those Pirelli's treating you so far? I like the Toyos on my truck but they are a bit too short in diameter, IMO. Those Pirelli's have a nice diameter and width. I may have to get those tires after the Toyos burn off.

tire size looks good... did you ever think about getting the new lower pad like from an 06', the ones that they started making black? i think that would set your truck off pretty nicely, nice color to

I never thought about the lower valance from an '06. Hey Chris, I KNOW I can help you get some tires sooner. I would like to color match that chrome piece running through the bowtie on the front. I am still working on the go fast goodies before I hit the appearance stuff. I "need" to get my 60' down and pick up at least a 1/2 to a full second off the 1/8th.

Yes, appearance wise, the only thing thing that has been done was the removal of the molding. I cleaned it up and took a few pics because I was debating trading it in on a sport sedan of some sort. However, I am having a tough time locating something that is not too expensive. I did find a 2006 Volvo S60 R with 3k miles on it pretty cheap. But it is an automatic and they really suck up the power on an AWD car. Saw where it was like 40 hp/tq difference between a manual and an automatic on these cars. I did find this also, but it is a little pricey, but still almost worth the asking price. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2006-...QQcmdZViewItem
