need a few honest opinions

Do you or your wife need the side steps to get in the truck? Either removing those or painting them black to go with the overall theme of the truck might be another option. With painted bumpers, the chrome is going to stand out and draw attention away from the other mods you have done.

My wife is short, and my 2 boys need em to get in. We already have plans to get them powdercoated black to match my wheels

when I think of a show truck, I think of something thats "different" from the norm. I say powdercoat those steps yellow!

lol I was thinking the same thing, might look good with the black step pads on them

 

[Budakane]

I think that would be too much yellow, figured black would make them look more....subtle ya know?

If you want a subtle yellow touch, you could paint your calipers to match the truck. They would stick out behind the black wheels.

I like the yellow calibers

well I got a fix for you on the steps then!

powdercoat the steps black, get the little black parts powdercoated yellow! then there will still be black, but the yellow will mix it up for a subtle touch :********:

SOme good ideas thanx!!! I will have the wife send pics as soon as the tinted tails are on. I decided to take off the bedstripe and have it painted on instead. Gotta get a quote on how much it will be to colormatch the bumpers. What bout eyelids for the headlights, I know some ppl have had them painted on?

 

[reefguy89]

im not a fan of the eyelids. what about amp steps. that way you have a cleaner look but still have steps for your wife and kids.

 

[Budakane]

Amp steps?

 

[the codes]

they are the steps that retract, and when the door opens the fold out for you to use.

amp research and another company sell them

 

[Budakane]

That sounds spiffy!!! but then I gotta find a way to get rid of my step bars........

 

[Hemi450hp]

The AMP steps are extremely nice. They are not cheap, but they give the best of both worlds...style and funtion.

 

[the codes]

not cheap at all lol

if they were I would get a pair and make some mounts for them cuz they dont have them for my model
