Looks really great! What work did you have to do as far as prep, and what kind of paint did you use? Looks really good.

Looks good, but you should do the top and put some 99-01 fog lights on there.

I wet sanded it with a scoch pad, then I spryaed adhesion promoter with two coats, then I got custom mix paint in a spray can. and sprayed it no clear coat. I put it in my building next to the window for a week to help bake on the paint.

I just found a new mod for my truck now! That looks so badass, it's not even funny. You should do the top as well. Just gives it a matched look. How much do you think it ran you?

I love it, but I'm a bit biased to the color-keyed look.

That is a good idea. I think I will join the others that are planning to do this, and attempt it myself here sometime soon. I need to work on mine anyway, never did get that aftermarket part to fit quite right.
