Diff mud flaps also

Yeah I'm in the middle of changing jobs do probably nothing going to happen to the truck until towards the end of summer (I'm sure I'll find a way to do stuff before then:******** but the tips and new mud flaps were actually probably going to be next as I was just talking to the fiancé about how both items don't fit the truck... I forgot to put up I actually order the parts to do the cabin filter mod and should be in before Friday so that will be for sure the next thing

Awesome color

I love the color, don't see many like it cuz everyone wants balck white or red, and it's great when it's clean and the sun hits it
Cuz it'll change blueish to purple ish and it's metallic then at night it looks black and when it's cloudy it looks midnight blue

Alright guys well havnt been on the forum much lately, but Ive been busy in the mean time. So here's some of the progress since last posting.

After tinting the tailights I decided I need LED bulbs so here's a pic with the LED tails and 3rd brake light lit up, still need the CREE reverse and cargo lights though



Next thing I decided it was time for some window tint, so I went with 5% all around with a 5% visor



Visor



Then yesterday I decided I wanted some accents under the hood, something that would pop and contrast from the outside of the truck so I painted the engine cover white with some red to match the factory wires and caps under the hood, I plan on doing some other stuff under the hood white over the course of the next week.



Also decided with the engine cover out and drying it would be a good time to build a custom intake, so with a universal polished aluminum tube, a washable/reusable universal filter pieces I cut off the factor intake and some black liquid gasket I did just that.

Made a huge difference, that I can feel in the throttle response

here's the test fit, since this pic I put the oil breather line back across the top of the motor where it belongs and re-installed the engine cover, need to get some more pics.




I also have a set of 22" wheels at a buddies shop that I just order in and am waiting to be able to order a nice set of all terrains for them to get them on

Here's a pic of the intake with the outerwear and engine cover installed on the truck.



And unfortunately I havnt got around to ordering the tires for my new rims so they are still sitting at my buddies shop, but here's a pic of them in the order guide (just as a teaser)
