Looks BADASSS. are you going with black rims?

I'm not sure yet. As of right now, they are staying as is. I do have an idea to add a little unique flare to the stock 20s that's based on the Charger Super Bee wheels, but that will still be more chrome than black. I've seen someone do all black on these and, IMO, they lose some of their look. It almost "cheapens" them.

I agree.......but I think that plastidip cheapens a lot of stuff......wonder if I can use it to cover headlight bezels, I'd probably have great luck with it! :D (better than paint that is ******* me off right now!)

It does add a nice flat black look to whatever it's put on. I don't know how it would handle the heat if projectors weren't used in the housings. Here's what it looked like on the underside of my '04's hood. It held up very well to the engine heat, btw.

I joke......but I would never use that in headlights. the texture is a problem for me.

It might not look bad on something like a lifted 4x4 with line-x'd bumper and rockers.

I like the look of the line-x. Hmm...might look into doing that. PS love the color of your truck...but, a little over kill on the pix lol. No offense.

That's not line-x...that's plasti-dip...much cheaper.

Very nice truck. This was my first color choice but ended up with black in the end.

how were you able to get the headlights that color

I painted those and did the projector retrofit on them. Check the link in my sig to see the work I do on these bad boys.
