    Does Plasti-Dip count as a mod ?
    So far so good after a few washes. I'm NOT looking forward to the 'love bug' season. Those lil bastards are bad enough on real paint. :eek:

    Im not a big fan of flat black wheels. Need something to make them stand out. I was going to to my whole wheels, but stopped after the center caps. I think it makes the wheels stand out a little more. But its your truck. Knock yourself out.

    SWWWEEETTTTT, I'm planning on doing up my front bumper since it's all faded (tired of the Back to Black and all that jazz, doesn't last long, for me, plus have to keep applying/applying/etc./etc. ... would like to just paint and leave for a while worry free of fading).

    Not a fan of painted stockers myself. If you're really itching for a cheap mod it's probably not a bad one since you can take it back off

    I think black rims will 99% of the time make the car look better IMO. I say go for it, its a cheap, safe alternative to powder coating or getting new rims all together. Just make sure the rim is completely clean and has absolutely 0 water on it. dont shurg your shoulders and say "eh thats good enough." Yes thats what I did......
