    It looks like you blacked the FOG LIGHTS not the TURN SIGNALS.

    I got a couple of bids on the grill shell and fender flares yesterday - I love the look of your truck and want to duplicate it. Now to see if I can get the GF to let me spend it :D

    Hey if it ever stops raining here in Maryland I'm bedlining (blacking out) the entire front grill, facia, clip whatever you want to call it, on my 03. No chrome will be left, just bedliner black. :)

    I'm moving into her house and it needs a lot of work and a bit of money to get it into shape. We came to an agreement that I would put the money that my current roommate pays (I own my house as well, but it's in a bad school district) into these improvements. It also means I need to curb my misc spending that is obvious in the mean time (if she can see it, we should talk about it before I spend it). Once I move in, I'll rent my place and have more surplus income and can do it then, but probably not now. I'm still looking into it though ;]

    I did tell her about the LineX I'm doing next week :D...

    I have been with her for 9 months and if the move in works out, I will marry her. I'm 39 though and not willing to jump into anything without a trial first.
