    What are some thoughts on a couple things:
    Mudflaps
    Re-badging the truck. Hard to find the raised OEM ones. Was thinking of vinyl ones?

    Skip the emblems, they won’t do anything for reliability/longevity.

    It looks good without.

    Do what you think is best. Mud flaps look good, but they have a function.

    Nice truck!

    Was quoted over $10,000 by some bigger shops. Asked around and found a young guy with talent who moonlights with body work in his garage. Paid $4000 for the cap painting, Bed liner and body work/paint job. I feel that was very fair price. Turned out very nice. I didn't ask him to remove windshield or catch every corner inside the doors.
