The xl front end is grey... Mine is black lol

To keep with the trend I thought the chrome mirrors looked odd so I painted them black too.
Next is to get a can of bed liner and coat the checker plate bedrails and tailgate cap.


Once I get the bodywork done its all going black

Thanks. It's comming along. No the scoop isn't functionalhasa solid front atually (I'll post a better pic)
And the rims aren't real beaocks that's just the trim around the outside. I wish j would have put more time into cleaning/prepping the wheels and had them powder coated theyre starting to show rust in the beadlock ring.
Here's the scoop. I painted the stainlessinsert black in the second pic it's kinda hard to see in the pic
