Customizing

Hey guys, I have a Delima with this OBS truck, how do you make these trucks stick out and be unique? I seen a truck exactly like mine today got me to thinking. My OBS was unique to me due to the chrome and the Horse Grill. Where can I get a different grill for these trucks outside of the bars and mesh? I want to keep a classic look to it but I'd like it to stick out a bit. Any help would be greatful guys!

To me what makes mine stand out is the euro style headlights with a ranch hand up front and the big exhaust with a film of smoke on the bumper out back. I would like to have cab lights and some turn signals on the front fender somewhere. Just do what you want to it, some will like it while others wont

Well I think I am going to add my Recon big rig bars on this truck maybe 6 markers across the front 6 red across the back wired in to be turn signal and brake. I wanna keep a older look to it as well so keep the amber turn signals but maybe the euro headlights. Ranch hands are nice but they cost a few greenbacks.

I really like those light bars but the only thing that bugs me about them is they are LEDs and the light up a lot quicker than your stockers and it kinda looks funny I think. I kept my stock amber turn signals but added the euro headlights cuz I like how they look at night.

When I got my truck we noticed that the my grill had been painted white to match my truck. They left the chrome facing out, but the "inside" has been painted white and it realy stands out. Not sure how well it would look on any other colors though.

a guy at work has the grillpainted to match as well.....his truck is chromalusion.

as far as other "customized looks" i like my lund moonvisor, the liftkit, 4 airhorns. i miss my dual firestix, they will go on this truck soon enough. i like the look of the battle bumpers or at least a grill guard. and what truck is complete without a set of ballz?

Now maybe a chrome grill guard would look good Big rear chrome bumper, but I think the painted inside of the grill would look good.
