Looks good. How are the WheelSkins mounted? I've considered buying a set, dechroming them and getting them color matched to the truck.

Great job man looks killer, You gotta do the rear emblem and the exhuast tips with the plasti dip did mine and they came out soo nice love the all balck look. And if your considering doing a balck housing for your lights go to pro tunning labs for them super cheap and work great.

Heres a pic of the lights

I did the skins instead of the wheels because i wasnt sure if i would like it and ive heard that it doesnt come off as easy as some people claim it does, so this was kinda a cheap test run for me. not to mention its alot easier spraying the skins and just snapping them on instead of dismounting the wheel and masking off the tire!! I'm gonna do the rear emblem next nice day we get!! But thanks for the compliments guys, I have gotten mixed reviews from my friends who said i shoulda left them chrome but i say screw 'em, its my truck and i like it :flipthebird:

It peels of extremely easy. In one big coat. Have done it multiple times. Truck looks good! Also, no need to take off or tape off the tire. Just protect the brakes. And it'll rub off of where you don't want it.

How does the plasti-dip hold up on the exhaust tips? I considered using high heat engine or grill paint, I know they dont get really hot but id hate to smell "burnt-ass" for the next 3 weeks!:yucky:
