the thing is if you want them to take them back you have to pay restocking fee and such, so I figured I will modifi the truck if need be in other words I am all in LOL.. Cya Slick

Nice wheel choice. My suggestion for the graphics, vinyl. I think it comes in a flat black. It would look kinda like the barracuda or challenger 440 graphics.

I know dude I have been in contact with a decal shop in Omaha. They are going to make it, heat shrink it, and put it on makin' it reeeeal nice. I told them I wanted matte/satin black so we are on the same wavelength! You can't see it in that picture but I am doing my tailgate too, like Frenchy did... so it will be like a wrap around from one wheel well all the way to the next.
I am still unsure about the black stripe on the side but if you guys give it positive feedback I might go ahead with it...
I also found the R/T hood online for $500. That would complete my black out process if I had the whole hood painted black with that beauitful scoop on there.

I don't know, don't use an air drill? I am getting the chrome lug nuts and the chrome center cap so it shouldn't be an issue for me. I thought the ones on ebay you got were chrome lugnuts? No matter. So are you going to keep those rims and tires then Mr. All in ? PM me.

I guess great minds think alike, haha. Here's an idea I had a while back.

Big black side stripe optional.

No I ended up with the black lug nuts, I never planned on the chrome ones, I will keep you informed on the wheels, even the guy at discount did not think there would be a problem with fitment of the wheels.. I am pretty sure all the measuring I did and so forth to make sure this would fit should be accurate but I will know for sure on saturday will keep you all informed.. Cya Slick
