Say Hello To Chewbacca

Truck looks goof, nice car and R1!

 

I have a 2000 SS.........

 

I do like that S200000 though!

 

Nice!!! When I was younger that was my brothers dream car

 

subd to your build. I want to run 295s (I was debating on that or 285s) and i think I'm going to try it now! haha

 

Very nice toys!

 

can you shed some light on how these are applied? i just ordered the pro grill and want to take the letters off to paint them super white and want some guidance before i tackle the project. thanks! btw, your shit looks sick!

 

Yeah so as far as taking the letters off.. just use a heat gun or blow dryer.. and heat up the letters from the front and back side of the grille... the letters are held on by a "3m enhesive" so after you hear the letters up just gently push on the back "prongs" of the letters and they should pop off. After you get the letters off you can take them into your local auto body paint shop and have them paint the letters for you.. or since your just doing white.. you can scuff up the letters and get some primer and just get some super white spray paint in a can and paint them yourself.. I only look mine into my local body shop because my truck is QS tan.. so I couldn't go to my local ACE hardware and just find that color paint in a spray can. But a "bright" white is a lot more common. You can go to your local store and pick that up. Let me know if you have any other questions

 

Thanks man!!

 

Yeah I like the look of a fatter tire. Depending on the size lift your running on your truck you'll have to do a CMC if you do any type of off roaring because you will get some rubbing when the suspension is flexing... but under normal street driving you won't have a problem...

 

awesome! yeah duplicolor makes and exact match for super white which i already picked up

 

Perfect man! Yeah it's not that hard to do lol hardest part is popping off the letters. Just make sure you hear the letters up good and you should be fine. Post some pictures up after you paint them. I'd like to see!

 

Well so after owning my truck for almost 6 months it finally hit 3,000 miles haha!! I know it's not a lot but honestly I'm never in town to drive the thing because I'm always out of town traveling for basketball... but at any rate it was a awesome 3k miles lol looking forward to enjoying many more miles to come

 

I haven't been able to drive the truck in a while because I've been busy traveling for basketball.. but today I flew home from Las Vegas and I had some free time so I was able to wash and wax the truck today... back into the garage it goes

 

This truck is turning out great, I'm here to watch now haha
I really like the bronze wheels and skid, turned out great!

I came from a jap car too( 98 Subaru 2.5rs coupe, the blue with gold rims one)

Side note, do you play basketball as a career or?

 

Thanks man I appreciate the kind words! And yeah I play semi pro ball over in Canada.. I was trying to get a try out over in Italy but things didn't pan out so I'll be in Canada for the summer playing there.

 

295s are the way to go if you don't care about cab mount chop!
The only things is your limited to tires because it doesn't seem like a lot make 295/70r17's
What tires are you running now op?

 

Is that hub painted?

 

yeah I painted it with some anti-rust semi semi gloss black paint. It wasn't rusting or anything but I had painted the rear hubs just in case of rusting.. so I figured I'd just paint the fronts as well.
