305/40/22 im guessing? 425 shipped to your door. You have to pay mounting and balancing. No need to stay in the past.

Although, I have to tell you Im going to a paint shop to get a price to paint my front bumpers the color of the truck thanks to you. I want that little black trim thats at the very bottom to get painted to. Yes im jocking your idea! Nice looking truck!

Its got a gap in it lol. On the very top were it meets the lower bumper. I want the chrome to be painted and the little black peice that you and I have to match. I think that lower air dam is too big. The one we got is enough to draw attention if you get it painted and you dont have to add any more peices so no additional weight.

Do you know what they had to do in order to paint them prep wise? Really been looking into this on my blue '05 but worried about the paint flaking off the chrome. I'm assuming the prep work would have to be pretty intense and then maybe putting a couple clear coats or maybe an additional clear bra on top of all that would work.
