    I think it came out pretty good! Hard to get a good pic without it getting washed out. It’s not blindingly white, but it’s as close to Super White as I can get without getting an official color match. Not too bad for a $10 mod :rolleyes: Really loving the black shift unit too, blends so well with my seat covers. My shift knob came in and it’s bigger than what I anticipated but I still dig it, makes the whole cabin feel a bit more sleek. Loving the temp knobs! I’ll probably end up covering those silver bits with white too.... so much to do, not enough weekend to do it in.

    This truck is finally starting to feel like it’s officially MINE.

    Thanks! Really glad to be here. To be perfectly honest, I’m thinking about changing mufflers. On the highway I often think my truck hasn’t shifted into gear, but when I look at RPMs I realize it’s just the high tone of the muffler. Not horribly loud, but not quite the sound I want while driving on the hwy. There are times when it sounds amazing (idle, acceleration) but other times it sounds similar to making trumpet noises through a paper towel tube. Hope that helps =]

    Santa Barbara, you?
    Tough call... I’d go with hybrid. Best of both worlds ;)

    Can you switch between Amber and white on the fly? or is the whole bar either on or off? I'd say hybrid if you can choose the color.

    not this particular model, i decided on clear uptop and kept my lower bar on the bumper amber, i figure that be the best way to maximize use.

    i have solar panels running under the prinsu


    * edit I think you were referring to the trim guard on the bottom, it reduces wind noise by creating a seal with the roof

    Does it actually touch the roof, or just make the gap smaller?
