I agree with rh about the grill but I think I'd do the crosshairs.

eh, idk about door spears. I have always hated how those things looked, I like the rocker panel idea. Get something like what RH did and paint em black to match and that will look awesome!

I agree with the rocker panel idea. Paint em black and that will tie it all together.

Yea cuz I don't like chrome all too much and RH made it work perfectly. It looks like a chrome body kit or something going all the way around, I don't know how to explain it but it just fits it and looks really good. I can almost guarantee you'll get the same results with painted rockers as he did with chrome rockers.

Well, I recently had the grill done blue, so no on that! And no to the door spears! I'm with Shiloh....don't like those! But thanks for the ideas!

I will try to do the rear bumper in the next couple of weeks. The crosshairs is kind of a good idea though....hmmmm......

And I need to do my headlights as well. The next thing on the list is bigger tires. My CrapYears are starting to wear thin.....I am getting 285/75 Nittos.

plasti coat looks good, does it shine at all? you could throw down some clear coat on it to make it shine like the rest of the paint. also, maybe paint the top of that bumper blue to match the bodycolor, and then run the rocket's with that plasti coat to match the lower front of your bumper, to keep the paint lines the same. at least 02+ ram's dont rust under the doors anymore, b/c they added that neat rubber grommet:-) go dodge. lol
