Make it a rat rod/truck. Paint it flat black and then add some flames.

Okay, you probably not going to paint the truck flat black. I think flames that look realistic would be awesome.

Cool, You have a good lowering kit...but its not "slammed" so it looks good, and done right. I'll vomit on the first slammed 09 I see...lol. As far as the flames...the hot rod pic looks pretty good. I personally would like them more if they were the overlaping flames (I forget what the style is called).

Although I have seen better ones...this is what I found with a quick search. They give a bit more 3D depth to the graphics.
See these (if they work):

And the most realistic I could find:

i think that once its on the truck.. and outlined with more hot rod prinstriping... then it will come out great..

BTW ramphreak.. my truck is already lowered... but i dont plan on ever going lower

I just like the old school hot rod look... if i could get some old red steelies i would put those on as well...

anyone can get a black truck and debadge it, buy a drop kit and put some rims on it... im going for being unique... work wont start until a few more days and we might work with the flames a lil more...

i got my street scene black chrome inserts this week.. but its not going to be installed until i get the grille shell painted

my inserts are chrome and when i put the new inserts over them.. it just looks bad.. so i think im going to end up cutting out my inserts to have these installed..

my bed rug is curled at the end because i lifted it up to see if i could get the back ram emblem off... thats going to have to wait

heres pics of the inserts
