    Welcome from a fellow newbie. I also have recently purchased the truck of my dreams but haven't gotten around to mod's yet as you have. I love the color and the wheels. I think I am going to try and get close to that color when I "rebadge" to get rid of the chrome emblems.

    Hey--- ya have more patience that me!!!! Badass Curby is only 5 days shy of being 2 mnths old!!!
    I messed up on the rims as the day after installing it ---i found rims from KMC that has rivet that would totally match the grilles ---sigh so my advice dont be as impulsive as me (I walked out of the dealership with the Sports package but walked in with off-road package in mind!!!! ---the chick part of me!!hahaha)

    Have fun with ur truck !!!!!
