All the red Glowing inside the cab is actually high powered leds i got from Streetforce along time ago that i had on my snowmobile then took them off and put them in the truck.. they arnt in buisness anymore but Oznium.com has a great selection for anything led/neon products, thats where i get all of my lighting from now including my underbodies, they are really good and absolutly the best customer service i have experienced with any of the other companies i got my stuff from threw the years. by the way the pics made the dash lights look blue they are still the stock green i think you can change out the light and put leds in though but it will still be green cuz of the sticker being the color unless you peel that sticker/cover off and find someone that makes all the green clear or a different color

When you get to your mirrors and handles, be sure to use an adhesive promoter. I use BULLDOG Bond*Flex*Tie Coat. That way your primer and paint won't lift off the plastic. Again. Very nice job!

Hell, I don't care. It got damaged when it was stolen, so I cut it out and fiberglassed some new curves. Another thing that might look good when you paint again: Take the RAM letters and paint them too. Have that punched-out look.

im probably gonna debadge er it will look better then painting them. rssjib for both bumpers you sand the chrome with 320 grit sand paper till you cant see your reflection anymore just enough to scuff it up a bit, then i used self etching primer from meijers did a few coats in that till you couldnt see any chrome, then use an adhesive primer to stop corrosion just a couple layers, then wet sand it all down once dry with 1000 or 1200 grit paper to smooth it out, then paint it up and clear coat it.. silver you should paint your front bumper and air damn it will look real good i mean you might as well you painted everything else lol it will give ya another little weekend project to keep ya busy.. idk how much left you have to mod your gettin to that point where you say "damn what the hell else can i do now?" hah
