i know this is a stricly preference deal and that alot of guys dont like them, but i have always liked them soooooooo :D

still not done yet , still need to do the grill . and need to paint the roll pan and a few other things but the back isnt going to get strips just the hood roof and grill . grill and bumper need a new coat of black, actual base clear this time instead of the cheap stuff :rofl:.

x2 you are always up to somethin



I do like the racing stripes though. Usually im not a huge fan of racing stripes but I like them on your truck. I think the gray on black is a real subtle yet noticeable combination. Usually racing stripes are a little overpowering but you did good. :thumb:

X2, I think the grill will make it look Rice'y. I do like the stripes and color. I have thought about a cowl and "Ghost" stripes on my truck as well (Hood & tail gate).

Trent, they do look pretty good but I would not do the grill it looks damn good as it is
i think i agree ! all and all i am happy for painting them myself, they are not perfect a little bit of dust got into them but cant expect much more for painting them outside of a booth . it was a pain to mask off the whole truck and make shure everything was straight ! thanks for the complaments guys !
