Dude I wish I had the black, the red is cool and I'll probably never get rid of it since that is the original color, but the black with silver is sweet. I have always been a fan of the 89 Dakota Sport Concept look

I like the light bar! Dont see mant of them, but I did see anothre truck the other day here in town with one too. Not a fan of the lights that came with it though...This body is too "square" to have round lights. Would like awesome if you put matching lights up there to the ones on the front.
BTW, what brand are those lights on the front?

I don't have peeling paint, but I do have chipping paint. When it was my dads truck 10years ago, he got it painted. It started chipping then he took it back a few weeks past the warranty. So the decided to repaint it but since it wasn't fully under warranty they did a cheep job.





There are a few spots of bare metal around the truck. Thanks to living in the desert rust is never an issue. Here is just one of the bare metal spots, extremely light rust. It has been like that for years above 5 years and all I get is that little corner of light rust.

bump,
imo, I actually really like the way the round lights look on the truck, its all personal opinion though. I do wish they put more then 2 on the bar from the factory. the lights on the front are the $20 blazers walmart driving lights. lol. i use them almost everyday so i didnt want to get something that was expensive to replace. eventually i am going to put 2 more lights up top and replace the 2 in the front with round lights.

I hate you guys and your rust free everything. Haha.

My hood is the only thing that has some clear missing.

The rest of the truck suprisingly shines up super nice.
