    Lowered 3/4, debadged, led tails, projector headlights with hids, billet grill, blacked out windows, painted front and rear bumper and grill shell. Inside, 4 crappy 15's, suede wrapped headliner and door panel inserts, alpine double din, few painted pieces inside, and every led is either blue or white.
    idk, I get the joy of figuring all this stuff out with insurance on Monday and seeing what happens. Hopefully it wont be too big of a deal and her insurance will pay for the repairs

    Well, it has been a huge pain just as expected dealing with the insurance. But I might be getting a check for $3,4xx.xx which should cover the cost to repair it and also allow for some cash left over. I'm hoping to get the check this weekend and get it to the shop within the next few days since I am leaving for Florida on the 29th and I need it fixed by then. But I ordered some new tail lights and a new bumper off ebay today.

    [​IMG]

    And the bumper is just a stock one that is primed. I am going to get it painted to match the truck. Depending on time I might have all the handles, mirrors, and front end painted as well. The difference in the check will be enough for some new headlights and also a new mesh grill, so I am still trying to convince my parents to let me order that will the extra since the check will be in their name (I'm not the policy holder).

    haha, you don't like the tail lights? I think they will look pretty good. I'm planning on getting some smoked projectors and fog lights for the front eventually so it will all match.

    I got the bulbs off ebay, no link. I wouldn't get them if I were you though, they caused my truck to do a bunch of weird things such as my odometer dimming when I applied the brakes and some other things.

    oh yea, that is the one thing I dislike about them but I can live with it hah.

    But maybe with a resistor on the bulb you wont have that problem? idk, I never bothered messing with it.

    I've seen the solid red as well on that silver truck lowered on 20s. I think the smoked will look good with my color since the black looks so good. I didn't want to go with the black led lights and just wanted to do something different.

    Yea, it sucks. Its in the shop now though, I should be getting it Friday

    Wow, it has been a while since I've updated this. I have been at school in Florida for the past 2 and a half months but have done a lot to the truck. I have a good amount of pictures that I need to upload and if there is any interest I will post them up in the next few days

    Well I'll put a few pictures up since there is some interest in it...

    Walled off with 4 crappy 15's, trim panel covered in black suede, headliner covered in black suede, door panel inserts and overhead console covered in black suede also. New taillights, painted bumper and front end is re-painted as well. I also did the big 3 with 1/0 wire.

    Thanks haha, and no it's not bad at all. I took off the rear view mirror since I don't need it any more and I like it better since I never liked where that was before, it always created a huge blind spot for me. I am super happy with how the repair turned out and I think the painted bumper and tails look better than what I had before. And the best part is that I ended up getting cash in my pocket from insurance haha

    I'm trying to. I'm working on getting my own website started up and possibly trying to open up my own shop. I'm still in the early stages of everything but time will tell how it all works out.
