Test patch. I don't know how I feel about that red. Maybe darker. Opinions?

I bet you can find a Better match than that. I haven't had time to paint mine yet. About tired of messing with it every day lol. I did de-badge it the other day. Looks a lot cleaner.

Made them. OEM paint (gray) and an epoxy fill (orange).

That looks awesome. Where did you find colored epoxy?

Yea I'm getting tired of it at the moment as well. I like my hemi badges but idk about the ram on the doors. Fortunately the express doesn't have the tailgate stickers

The colored badge with the epoxy fill is actually another (ex)-forum members (AustinB) brain child. You use pourable epoxy, like you'd use on a tabletop, and color it with acrylic paint. It pours in and when it sets looks fantastic. The entire badge is painted in the primary color first, gray in this instant, then the epoxy is poured. Easy to do and looks fantastic. The front badges are even easier as the two layers come apart and can simply be painted in the color(s) of your choice.



So, between front and back that's like an additional 50+ hp. ;)

Damn yea that's nice. How did you do the back one? I didn't want to perl it off. And I couldn't get the front to split. Looks like they plastic welded them together

rain guards ordered. Nfab nerf steps ordered. Probably getting linex in the bed and on the steps and possibly Tinting my windows a little. Factory is 70% fronts and not marked on the rear. Might black the rears and do a 50% over the fronts. Most of my driving is at night

Called the local linex place here. Said 525 for linex in the bed and 200 for my steps. Does that seem reasonable? Said it would take approximately 2 hours to do everything

After and before :) nice steps. Quality is a little lacking though unfortunately. Still for what they are they are amazing steps and I have my womans approval.

Thank you motorider. The mats are a nice addition. I did tuck them into the door sill guards front and rear and it actually made for a better fit. They were a little floaty on the edges.

Putting them under like that doesn't prevent the liquid from getting to the carpet. I don't like mine sitting on top either, but rather than the ruining the carpet.

Yea I know. I'm not entirely worried about that it still overhangs quite a bit under the sill so it should be good enough to direct most of it out.

After a plastic shine and wash

Can anyone point me in the direction to adding in the overhead console? I wouldn't mind the compass module while I'm at it since I just added the 5.0. Side note I found the post to add it. Just need to know where to buy it.
