Galadaeros - 2017 Copperhead Sport

I just picked up this beauty on May 26/17. Here it is as I picked it up at the dealership. The AVS vent visors, hood deflector, mudflaps and step bars were already on the truck. I had them put on a Bakflip G2 tonneau. Like many of you, I am compiling a mod list but they will come "slow and steady".











Pardon the factory film on the Uconnect unit. I am waiting for my Crystal Clear screen protector to arrive from Lexerd.

Love this color.. Might have to start looking for one..

Welcome to the Copperhead family

Nice ride man ............

Love that color!

First mod will be an easy one. I've gotta get rid of that dealership badging.

Very nice!

Got the first "mods" complete (if you can call them that). Replaced the stock antenna with this stubby from AMI Styling. It is 3", billet, black powder-coat. I live in a fairly urban area so I have not noticed any issues with reception at this point.





Then, I finally removed the dealer badging from the tailgate and rear window. It looks MUCH cleaner.



Next is to lose some of the stock badging. Just gotta get my hands on some decent fishing line.

Had a productive afternoon. I got my Wadestar RM10 blind spot mirrors put on.





Then I gave the interior a quick detail and put in my new Husky X-Act Contour Floor Liners. They look great and provide awesome coverage.









There was only one downside to the day. I removed the OEM film from my Uconnect panel and promptly f***ed up installation of my aftermarket screen protector.

Now to get another one on the way. Argh!

love the color.

Don't waste your energy on a screen protector. These screens are tough.

Well, I finally completed debadging my truck. I removed the "4x4" from the tailgate, the "RAM 1500" from the front doors and the "HEMI 5.7L" from the front fenders. I used fishing line to remove the badges and an eraser wheel to remove the 3M tape residue. It was pretty straight forward although a little nerve wracking. I finished up with Goo Gone Auto, a wash, Meguair's Ultimate Compound and a spray wax. Here is a comparison photo with badges and without. I really like the clean appearance without the badges.





Then I decided to go over the entire beast with Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Detailer. I lost my lousy job on the 14th flipthebird so I haven't had the time or cash to devote to a proper paint treatment yet (Iron-X, Clay, Sealant, Wax) but the Meg's left a pretty amazing shine for the time being.







Anyway, that's all for now. Gotta get back to work so the mods and updates can continue.
