Make it a rat rod/truck. Paint it flat black and then add some flames.

Okay, you probably not going to paint the truck flat black. I think flames that look realistic would be awesome.

Cool, You have a good lowering kit...but its not "slammed" so it looks good, and done right. I'll vomit on the first slammed 09 I see...lol. As far as the flames...the hot rod pic looks pretty good. I personally would like them more if they were the overlaping flames (I forget what the style is called).

Although I have seen better ones...this is what I found with a quick search. They give a bit more 3D depth to the graphics.
See these (if they work):

And the most realistic I could find:

i think that once its on the truck.. and outlined with more hot rod prinstriping... then it will come out great..

BTW ramphreak.. my truck is already lowered... but i dont plan on ever going lower

I just like the old school hot rod look... if i could get some old red steelies i would put those on as well...

anyone can get a black truck and debadge it, buy a drop kit and put some rims on it... im going for being unique... work wont start until a few more days and we might work with the flames a lil more...

i got my street scene black chrome inserts this week.. but its not going to be installed until i get the grille shell painted

my inserts are chrome and when i put the new inserts over them.. it just looks bad.. so i think im going to end up cutting out my inserts to have these installed..

my bed rug is curled at the end because i lifted it up to see if i could get the back ram emblem off... thats going to have to wait

heres pics of the inserts

since your truck is black and paint will match easily. have them take the rear badge off and do the sheetmetal work, cover it up and repaint it..
