looking good nim. i like the black and white

 

thats what happened, 2005cobrakiller did his rims with the same stuff and looked so much better than any spray paint job ive ever seen. so i said "ive got to do this" lol

 

nice job on the wheels.

Is your hood functional? That bug spoiler needs to come off. It kinda makes it look funny. If it's functional, then it looks like the bug thing throws the air up over the scoop?
Eitherway, i'd say take it off and see how it looks, unless you put it on after the hood????????

Just a suggestion. If you like leave it. just trying to maybe help.

 

thanks for the imput. ive been over this issue a hundred times with myself trying to decide if the bug shield stays or goes. yes the hood is functional. at first i thought the bug shield might push the air up and over the scoops, but after a hundred miles or so of driving, all the bugs seem to collect nicely right there in the scoops. so it kinda pushes the air right where i want it. also if i took it off you would see a big difference from the new paint on the hood and old paint on the grille. plus i knida like it on there.

the funniest thing ive heard thought, i asked my buddys opinion about it and he said the more **** i have on there the more expensive my truck will look..... i just kinda shrugged my shoulders and laughed when i looked at his truck ......

 

The more expensive you make your truck look by installing flashy rims and a Kenwood sticker on an otherwise base pick-up, will cause nothing but possible thefts....lol
That's coming from a guy with a flip kit/lowered springs and a set of wheels??? I try to make my truck as stock as possible from the outside or the least noticeable with the most mods. The more you stand out, the more likely you are a target. maybe I'm just paranoid, but I've never had anything happen before...ever!

Keep things as u please. I was just throwing ideas out there. and your truck doesn't look too flashy or expensive so no worries....lmao no bash intended bud.....lol

 

looks great! and u wont have to worry about getting them scratched! now get some 285/70/17 nitto TERRA GRAPLERS

 

i know you werent bashing me , but dam dirty, now im lookin at my sig pic wonderin what it would look like without the bug shield. lol.... youve planted the seed of doubt.
i might just have to go take it off real quick and see whats gunna happen. i'll post a pic.

ok just went out there and the shield is on there with those crap-tastic plastic screws that just strip out when you look at them. and thats just what they did to .. looks like im keepin it...

oh and btw. that guy has no kenwood anything in his truck, the dash is painted corvette yellow and the huge 10" tach on the dash isnt hooked up. and the 2.2L smokes like there is no tommarrow. i just thought his advice was hilarious coming from him.lol

 

those are 285/70's im gunna have to upgrade to 33's be4 im happy i think. not a big fan of nitto's though, i'll probably go with the general tire grabbers.

 

That looks badass man. Did you use any clear topcoat or anything? Im gonna have to do that for sure.

 

no i didnt want any shiny finish. plus its bedliner so it should hold up pretty darn good w/o and additional coatings
