That looks good. I do think that the orange trim panel looks out of place, but that's me. Overall, truck looks great.

The headlights and grill look awesome! They have some of those clear diamond cut headlights like that I want from summit that have skulls inside them, but they are like $50 each and I can't bring myself to pay that right now. I like the clear tailights too. But I like them more on lighter colored trucks.

I'm thinking about getting some VHT nightshades and spraying my tailights with that to black them out I think it would look pretty bad a$$.

I've got to keep it from running hot on the highway first! LOL

Again though back to the thread the new mods look great!!
