On this, now the hood and front grilles are a MUST for me. But I have been looking at this truck for a while and the superchared graphics on the side are growing on me, what do you think? Here is with and without :santa_undecided: :santa_undecided:


WITHOUT

I really like it the more I see it, what one do you like better???? Oh and dont let your eyes play tircks on you, in the "without" pics he has stock rims and that takes away a LOT from the way the truck looks.......so try to picture it with the rims on it in the " with " pics That hood is a cirvins 3 incher I think and the grilles are GRILLECRAFT. Top quality stuff, and they should be for what the damn things cost, but I like em and im getttin em 8)

I like them.. Since the truck already has some black accents (dark tint, the side mirrors, and the tonneau cover) it blends in pretty well... Oh and of course the tire shine helps it look good too.

I like the truck better without, it's a lot cleaner look and that stripe screams Saleen to me, which it obviously isn't.

kinda like the "mustang" decals you can get that are the saleen look-a-like. i would go for the "without" look.
very clean. you don't need any more clues to unsuspecting ricers as to what your truck is, or what it has
in store for them......

I like the grill and hood a lot. Im split on the graphics though, i like the way they look on the truck, but i also like the way the truck looks without them.

Negative on the supercharged graphic. The rest is wonderful. Smoke those lights though..that'd look good IMO.

I like the supercharged emblems for the cowl Brian. When you see some of these Triton powered trucks you mistake em at a distance for a lightin, But I look at the hood and know right away when I see the tags.

I wanted a hard top cover, but had to go with a soft for now, I didnt have the grand for the part and another couple hundred for paint :*( :*(
