Met up with another member on here, Disturbed, who lives about 10 minutes from me, to buy a 09+ Center Console w/o the shifter.
The consoles silver side-pieces had a nasty gash/scratch in it that was visually unappealing. While texting him about the console, he happened to mention that he does Vinyl work professionally. I asked him if he could vinyl wrap the silver areas for me and asked how much more he wanted for the console after he vinyl wrapped it. He was nice enough to do it for free and said not to worry about paying anything extra for vinyl wrapping it!!
This is what it looked like before:
This is what it looks like now:
I think the console came out great and Disturbed is a fantastic member to purchase from. Not only did he vinyl wrap this for free, he was awesome enough to also give me roughly 5ftx3ft of matching black vinyl!! I asked him how much he wanted for it but he insisted on just giving it to me for free.
So since I ended up trading my 20" ATX Wheels to another Ram owner, offsite, for oem 20" Chrome Clads a few days ago, i realized my Pocket Style Rivet Fender Flares just look goofy and out of place with all that extra space and width. My ATX wheels stuck out and filled up the fenders and flares and the chrome clads are tucked into the wheel wells which makes the flares look really stupid, at least the rear flares. They looked and fit great with the offset of the ATX Wheels but these 20" chrome clads make the flares look dumb and out of place.
I was already planning on meeting Disturbed today to buy the center console but while late night browsing the For Sale section; I came across his For Sale Thread for his OEM Fender Flares and they just so happened to already be painted PR4 Flame Red!!! I had just put my pocket style flares for sale on craigslist last night and just started looking for oem style flares. The coincidence that he was selling them in my paint code is crazy!!
So I texted Disturbed and asked him if he still had them. He said yes and asked if I was selling mine. I told him why I was selling mine and asked if he wanted to trade; my pocket flares for his oem flares and he said yea.
So here are the flares I traded to Disturbed:
Here are the flares I got from Disturbed:
So long story short, Ram Forums member Disturbed is a stand up guy! Everything was exactly as he described and he even gave me a huge piece of free vinyl and also wrapped part of the console, both for free. I will
definitely deal with him in the future shall he have anything for sale that im looking to buy.
The OEM PR4 Fender Flares should look great on my truck with the chrome clads!! Can't wait until it's warmer outside so I can put them on!!
I still need to pick up a few pieces before I can install my center console so I probably won't collect all the missing pieces and install it until sometime in the early spring. I still need to buy the radio dash bezel, front + rear mounting brackets and both front "kick panels/wings" that cover the open area by your feet. If anyone has any of these pieces for sale or if you come across any of them, please let me know... thanks!!!
