RE: Project Photos from the Body Shop
How much did it cost, after all said and done, for the color sanding... your truck looks awesome (and that sweet little porshe too)

Actually the shop who did the paint isn't as detailed as the shop who did my Porsche so I'm leaving that work to the Porsche they are charging around $500-750 to color-sand the truck. These guys are very detail oriented......
Final bill on things is aaaahhh, well "I never added it up..."

Yeah... but it is all good... you get a sweet looking ride after it is all done.

RE: Project Photos from the Body Shop
You were doing good up until those wheels...
The rest of the truck looks good, but I don't really dig those particular wheels on a truck that is that high up. Makes it look like an old Micro Machine...kinda like the people that put huge rims on a '84 Monte Carlo or something. Just looks out of place IMHO. Big trucks need wheels with some heft to them, and tires with some meat. Maybe you should lower it about 3"?

RE: Project Photos from the Body Shop
yeah, lowering it 2-3" will make it look so much better! but then again, to me, it looks super sick anyway!!
