    Hey bud, looks good! Don't worry about what other people think, I'm sure this wasn't a rash decision on your part. There's a million different ways/combinations to modding a truck and yours is certainly unique. It's functional, and it looks great. I like the contrast between the black and blue and I like your wheel and tire combo too. Keep us posted on when you get your bumpers done.

    looks cool :)
    now if u add a beefy offroad bumper, a 3"-4" lift with flat black/teflon wheels and badass tires then that thing would definately be a head turner

    Potentially good idea, but executed poorly. :eek:

    Yeah but yours is your whole truck, it is one color, it isn't splotchy and it was professionally done. It also looks great! :D

    For the most part I like it. I like the idea of it specially.

    Like others have said, I do think you went too high on the door. Maybe if you followed the lines of the truck, it might help the flow of it a little better.

    Here's a quicky example of what I'm talking about. Better? Worse?

    Looks the same to me. Drop it down to the crease on the rocker.

    Oh wait. I see what you have done. Do it with just the drop to the crease but leave the fenders the same.

    You cant undo whats already been done with out a complete sanding and paint job... Cant drop down the existing lines, but I added to the area above the fenders a little, following the lines in body lines a little bit, instead of just straight across.

    Just an idea/suggestion. No clue how it would actually turn out. With the doors so high, it really does feel like its missing something.

    Another thought I had was to just bring it straight across the body, making it more like a true two tone. Something like this, but I didn't really like it on the truck.

    Well, here's a crappy version of a straight line down the whole side. I dont know. Maybe it doesn't look all that bad if he did it like that.

    Ya. The more I look at it, the more I think that might be the way to finish it off. Here is a better version with a bit more texture of what it would look like. It's really not all that awful.

    Oh, and I made the front bumper black as well, as you really cant have it blue since that just looks silly.

    It certainly is a lot of herculiner though, so I just dont know...

    After thinking about it some, I just dont know. I think I'd probably just leave it how it is. True, the doors are a bit high, but adding in much more is just too much. I take back my suggestions and say to just leave it how it is. Maybe take the front forward a little if you're going to replace the front bumper, but besides that, its good how it is.
