hey XTR,
i was thinking about taking the badges off when this last weekend until I realized there were holes, after that i decided to wait. I was wondering, does the trim that runs down the doors have holes too? or are they just stuck on with double sided tape?

Tire shine goes along the same lines as chrome. They are for "trucks" that are street queens, and see nothing but pavement.

The only time you mentioned the word paint was when you said next weekend I'm painting the rear windows, their made of steel.
You would have known exactly what was going on if you read his other thread:

Oh yeah like ive read on here before my crystal ***** in the shop and i was just supposed to know.
Yeeup you really told me, imma tuck my tail between my legs now because you have a bigger engine than me and a truck with fewer miles. I have such an empty life I have to fill it with waisting money on my truck... so dumb.
My truck is a mode of transportation, it sounds nice to me between my stereo & exhaust. Ive got almost 215,000 miles on it and its still running great. That means more to me than all the cheap add ons.
I forgot when people start these threads they dont want the truth they just want a bunch of yes men.
Personally I think the black on the bottom was ugly, the silver looks better, but I prefer everything matching the body. Mine is all black with the factory chrome bumpers & factory 17" rims and thats the look I like. Usually I think the lifted trucks or customized trucks don't look as nice as factory but thats just me.
Congratulations that you're happy with your truck and all the time you spend on it.
I'm happy with my stock truck and spending my extra time with friends family & education.
I won't be back to read any reply to this so u can really start talkin trash now if you want, I wont read it or reply.
have a nice day

I thought crystal ***** were for seeing the future, not seeing color difference between two pictures?

He is right though - modified trucks are dumb, we are ALL just wasting our time and money making our trucks better.

Ford got it just perfect the first time, why would we even try to improve them?

Next time I'll just come on and say it looks like a 9 year old truck that some one spent too much time and money dressing up. Then you could call me a dick and it have some truthiness to it.

I hope you have a nice day and enjoy getting home at work at 5 am... I'll be waking up 50 minutes after you get home.
