yea plastic is garbage anyway. i've hit mine on ice and snow and bent it in half. when i get home i bend it right back. even if u have the money i would go w/ the mesh. clear coats a good idea, like a laquer. take some pics if u do it, post in here

not bashing your trucks because they all look good. but im not a fan of mesh...reminds me of those big cardboard bodykits all the ricer guys around my city have and they have chicken wire flapping around in the big gaps on their ScoOpSs!!

the rice scene is what all my friends are into, but only one of them has done their car right the rest of them all have chicken wire taped onto the glued on body kits its pretty stupid looking. but if its done right like my brothers srt-4 then it looks real nice

Eric, I gotta ask you...
How did you get your Dakota to look so "white" and shine like that? I have the same one (minus the white bumper and hood scoop) and it doesn't shine nearly as much as yours does... Do I have to repaint the whole thing?....

He keeps it clean and waxed! And I don't mean a wax job that takes 30 minutes, it looks like he does it right and takes his time. Once you have a proper wax job, washing it to a shine becomes much easier.
+1, take all day and do a nice job and it will shine! On top of the waxings, wash the truck every so many days helps as well. Yes, its work, but it makes it look like a million bucks!
