I think it's way overdone. If he went with a silver/black theme it would have looked great. And Sheriff is absolutely right, he should have used a flat paint on the dash to reduce glare. It is a little too busy for me, but i can admire the work. Different strokes for different folks.

Hu, when would that happen? Your starting to shot at the moon here. Airbags are only meant to prevent your head or chest from hitting the dashboard and steering wheel.

you know, I really should not talk. When I had a 1986 IROC, I put Black and Red velour seats from a 1996 camaro in there. And then i went further and got custom black and red velour door panels from hawks thirdgen. no fuzzy dice though.

And YES, I am an Italian from NJ. And yes, I was a guido when I owned that car. Not Pauly D guido, but guido nonetheless. Now I have a truck, mossy oak seatcovers and a gun rack.

There are just some styles that you can tell the nationality of the driver before even seeing the driver.

The floors of these trucks are known to cave in, in a collision, and continue moving back until they're stopped by the seat. It's well recorded these trucks are very unsafe. There's no denying that.

Those look like GM Mirrors actually. Possibly Nissan Xterra mirrors also.

Mirrors are smaller than the gm ones and the shape looks to me like the cheap street scene ones
http://www.streetsceneeq.com/product...p?id=909&img=1

And all that work and they cheap out on little, the seats come on they dont come close, the floor mats seriously all that work and some plain gray mats, the steering column...again alot of paint and you miss that.

Now I did see one good from this...I want the ac control *****, now I know that they may not match my truck at all but these cheapo plastic ones suck

Street Scene mirrors are not cheap $40 mirrors like you would find on ebay. I, as well as RM Indy and a few others use them.

On a side note, I don't find these trucks "unsafe" at all. There were a few members here who were in collisions, or hit by a drunk driver and both passengers walked away unscaved. Which prompted them to buy another Ram. I know one of those members was truegent, I forget the other member but it was a white and him and his wife were also in it.
