If I was going to just stick them on that would be tempting as they are already the right color, however, the only way I'm going to install some now is if they taper like my idea...I'm chopping it now.

Damn nice find Morgan!

I agree on the flares though, that sudden stop just doesn't flow right. BUT maybe you could get some extra pieces and make it wrap around to the bottom of the grille like Morgans truck is. Think that could be possible to do?

Nah, there's no space like that on my truck and it would look odd.

I say go with option 1. I was planning on doing this in DBLTAKE this summer. I would avoid the painting though if possible. I don't know if they are available for 4th gens, but i was able to find black pillars for 3rd gens a while back. You should try to find them.

So I've got a little money to play with and I'm trying to decide what my truck needs next...it can't be anything too big as my wife and I made some decisions lately that affect our finances and big projects are out for a while, but here are a few I've been tossing around:

1. Interior: two toned plastics, black upper pillars (everyone knows the 3rd and 4th gens all have tan upper pillars), and black microsuede headliner and visors.

Thoughts: The ONLY thing that has made me second guess this is painting the upper pillars. I've heard great things about SEM but my concern is areas of constant use, such as the seatbelt hangers that will get rubbed daily by the seatbelt itself and the grab handles that don't get used as often but when they do there is more pressure applied.

this doesn't last well for repeated use so you have to pick and choose what you can do .... seatbelt hangers- no.. also the inside of the clips for the sunvisors no ... and i wouldn't do the rods at all the grab handles are bad for me but i have a lifted truck and i date short girls so they get used alot and girls all wear damn rings that chew that shit up ... so touch ups are needed do you have a sunroof?

with all that said i've had this done for 5 years roughly and can't imagine not having it done... i would do it over and over again even with all the right stuff its only a couple hundred dollars to do it all

So that SEM won't hold up? What do you do for the high use or high wear areas?

Terrible chop, but you get the idea...thoughts?

That actually doesn't look to bad... I like how it angles down at the end.

i don't.......I actually like the abrupt ending over that?

i would trim it the other way even with the bottom of your headlight

agreed

Doing the plastic work on the fenders wouldn't be too hard. There are some 3M products that you mold using pink polypro and it is sandable/paintable. My suggestion would be to make some real test panels with cardboard or styrofoam and slowly trim down until you find something you like. You can also look at other truck fender designs and try to find one you like and then graft them together...easy easy

If you don't give the body guy a picture of exactly what you want he will charge you out the ass, expecting to have to change it multiple times.

Luckily the body guy is a relative of a friend and is "interested" in doing something like this because he likes the subtle stuff.

Keep in my the chop is terrible and I still haven't gotten the angle I"m looking for.
