I want a set of the night runner rims...but I think I just might have to chemically strip and paint the stock ones myself....as funds are tight and that will have to do until I can find the right ones for my truck...

How does one do that and how much does that cost?... Oh frenchy speaking of exterrior work, did you paint your rear differential yourself?

I had those headlight covers for my truck too, until one flew off on the freeway and my friends didn't bother to tell me until 15 miles later. look great though on the truck! where'd you get the tail light covers?

Yes I did, it's one coat of caliper paint. And the bolts are two coats of caliper paint. I've done everything myself, with the exception of the custom made exhaust.

Superglue em on there!!!!

And, it's simple.. well, the rear diff. I took it off, changed the diff fluids to fully synthetic, and then painted it, wihle it was on the ground waiting...

I didn't really know how to do any of this, til I started.

So, give that a shot.

Pretty much any auto parts store carries it.
