[TheReapersRam]

Added some blacked out GatorBack Mudflaps front and rear

 

[TheReapersRam]

Had some custom airbrushed emblems made ...

 

[TheReapersRam]

Installed a LINE-X coated Bull Bar with some LED running lights and a 20" Light Bar ...

 

[TheReapersRam]

Next was a custom grim reaper body stripe ...

 

[TheReapersRam]

Then did some devilish LED work inside ...

Back seat cupholders and floor also done ...

 

[TheReapersRam]

Dipped the stock rims until I can buy black ones later this summer ...

Wheels look good. Did you spray the tire too?

Im digging those airbrushed emblems too, pretty badass.

 

[TheReapersRam]

Then got me a stubby antenna ...

Yes I sprayed the tire also, most people don't realize its the EASIEST way. It just peels off after and breaks clean at the rim provided its applied thick enough.

 

[TheReapersRam]

Dipped the steering wheel emblem. If you STEAL this idea better remember where you saw it first lol ...

 

[TheReapersRam]

Added a 60" LED RECON tailgate light bar.
It has reverse and turn signals also.

That's pretty cool. I've decided that Im tired of the chrome on my truck. Ive had it all chrome for about 5 years or so. I think Im going to plasti dip everything, I like the gun metal look. I love my truck, just ready for a new direction and look. lol How well is your plasti dip holding up? You gave me the idea of doing the emblem on the wheel too, already planned on the radio bezel and inside door chrome moldings.

I live in one of the harshest climates in all Canada and when I inspected plasti dip the other day it didnt even have a single chip anywhere honest !!
I'll take some more pics tonight and add them in throughout this thread. Not made to last forever but pretty tough over all
