yeah..white definitely is not the right color for that lol. ive painted my dash trim..cupholder trim..and speaker grills in the back(extended cab...idk how they are on a single cab) green to match the exterior color. looks pretty good to me and the fact that its dark green doesnt make it look to flashy or stick out. as for fog lights..i just picked up a cheap set from wal mart and dont have any complaints besides that people flash me when theyre on haha

Ok, so I'm thinking black for that trim piece? Probably.

Also I grabbed some nice foglamps at Harbor Freight for like 15 bucks, im thinking under the bumper is where there gonna go.

Got

-New Domelight because the same jackass before me who painted the inst. cluster bezel white, painted it blue

-Instrument cluster Bezel

-Cupholder slidy thing, my truck had a non fuctioning, not hooked up equalizer in it

All for.....

For days, I didn't know I HAD a slidy-out cupholder thing. I thought it was just more plasticky-Dodge dash decoration.

My daughter's b/f reached up and gave it a tug......I freaked!

By the airdam that is stock on the sport models. The plugs should allready be in the harness.

I really, really like the custom center console. I like the pioneering split wood aspect as well. If you hang some orbital shapes via chain in the rear, I think they would compliment each other.

Wow George, you did a great job cleaning the engine bay a little and adding a lot of cool small stuff to bring out your truck. I wish I had your seat covers... I have bench seats, so I can have any. Been waiting for a truck with tan interior to make it's way to my local junkyard and do a swap!

I have the same floor mats too guys, lol... By the way - kind of a question for everyone, is that chrome dash paneling a pre-91 Dakota thing *after they changed the front end...?*
