    That looks really good! I'm getting the bug to start some mods, but mines a 2012 and it's hard to justify removing new parts. So i'm starting slow to let the newness wear off. :) I've done the hose clamp tail gate now I'm shopping for a shorty antenna and in channel vent visors. Could you tell me what brand of antenna and the visors you have. Again your truck looks awesome. Thanks.

    Bought it from a member on here, it should be easy to find with a search and I know they sell it on eBay! Thanks!


    Thanks guys, saw it done on another car and figured I'd try it, came out really good I think.

    they're holding up great, nice and smooth, if i understood them correctly, they put a sealant on so the paint can stick to the plastic, painted it, and clearcoat. It's only been about 3 months, but it still looks perfect.
