So, I guess I'll start a build thread like everybody else?
First mod for 2019
MPG Caliper covers ordered today, man have these things gone up, should've bought em 2 years ago when I originally wanted them, but guns ya know are my addiction.
Got them off Amazon for $200 bucks as all the other places wanted $250.00 and even more for custom logos. These are supposed to be here Monday, so I'll get some pics asap once installed.
Should stand out pretty good on my truck I think, I've done the paint in the past on other vehicles and wasn't pleased with the longevity and results, even with proper prepping.
These will be a lot easier to keep clean also.

Those looks awesome! I've wanted to do those for awhile but I spend my money on lots of other parts...and I'm over trying to paint the calipers, t doesn't last long enough to be worth the effort

I’m surprised how well mine have held up being painted. Been about 8yrs at least lol

Really makes me miss my old '03. Same color, stance, bedcap and everything. You'll love that truck. If you have the money the best thing ever on y old truck was 4.56 gears in the axle, really made the thing quick!

very nice on the caliper covers. I have them and they always look good and clean up very easily.

I wish I had the money for a new converter when I had the truck. I never took it to the strip to see what it’d do and I regret it. Now it makes me want a race car lol.

I've always hated the upkeep on the black trim and have always wanted painted, matching door handles and mirrors. I thought I'd give these carbon fiber mirror covers a shot and if I were impressed I'd get the covers for the doors/tailgate?
Well damn, we'll have to see how they hold up, but very impressed with the fit and finish and especially the 3-D hydro dipped graphics (no, they're not real carbon fiber, but look real when up close). I'll be getting the handle covers next, check these out!IMG_0534.JPG IMG_0535.JPG IMG_0536.JPG

I was totally blown away! I thought they were real carbon fiber when first I opened them the look is so real, it's the 3-D dipping. I'll get a real close up tonight and post it later to show you.
