I'll talk to him and see what he says about doing outside vehicles but I've brought it up to him before and said he wouldn't. He doesn't really enjoy painting cars but I somehow talk him into doing mine.

So here's the next step, but I have a lot to do drivetrain wise first.

I'm thinking the following:

N-Fab Bars
Recon Lights then blue tint over clear part
Hellas behind the grill
33x12.5x20 Mickey Thompson ATZ
Cowl Hood
Black Gas cap
Maybe a 2" lift but then I'd go with 35" tires

Here's the email to the guy who does all of my decals

Tell him that you're interested in the same decals that he made for Matt Liponoga. He'll know who I am.

Naw, it sits too high and needs something to break it up a little.

I'm thinking about just painting my other bars black to save some money. Thoughts?

It definitely does save a lot of money, I only wish I had a mechanic in the family. I think I paid less than $50 for all of this. But I agree, I like working with what I have to start with no matter what it is. I repainted my whole last car for $300. Here's a pic of that:
