Thanks all

i like it, its not something you see every day and im all about that. I will eventually paint the truck that flat black and gloss red highlight the bump on the side and F O R D on the tailgate and a unique accent on the hood, maybe a red racing stripe, im not sure. Ill post pics as i get stuff done

Thats great, thank you, i will def use that! I was thinking an offset drivers side, maybe 6-8" single red stripe, might look ok. Idk, ill have to see if it will work or not. Thanks again for the image!
