Default Small Smartcar is Small and Mod List BIG

Sup guys, Thought I would share a pic I snapped today. Smart car parked beside me had no idea they were that tiny especially beside my truck. My door handles are taller and I'm more that twice the length lol.

So now that spring has come I have a few mods to be done as well as some typical preventative measure so far I have planned for a new rad, hoses and a complete flush before the new rad goes in including the heater core. Fluids will be topped up or changed, the under coating will be touched up with with rubberized box liner, the suspension and axles will be freshly spray painted and the cast pieces coated in por-15. This summer I would like to potentially run some projectors with halo's and LED's as well as a widemouth grille with a chrome surround and black billet insert. Also LED running lights on the side could make the roster but I am unsure as of yet. I would like those under the rail lights. The tailgate will be de badged re painted and just for fun I will toss a hybrid badge on the tailgate lol. Oh and just to round out the performance mods I'm thinking of that trans line pressure mod and a temp gauge. Sorry for the long azz read but just thought I would shoot some ideas. Suggestions? Things I should consider? Drop a line boys and girls.

Nice list dude. I say do it all, just make sure and put the tranny temp gauge in the A-pillar.

Question: what brand and where did you get those side steps?

Haha lol. That smart car looks so small beside your truck. I bet you could put the little car in your bed and drive around with it. That would be great lol.

They are gator gear running boards extremely good quality and very rugged. They came with the truck the previous owner put them on the truck.

I almost like the small cheap subtle mods the most. They really add to a vehicle provided they are tasteful.
