Redcbs' Black and Brown Build (2011 Pyrite Mica)

Ordered Lightforce 170s and yellow combo lenses today ;-) with this and blacking the bumper out, I'm "done" :-D

 

Dipped the bumper today! I think it looks great. I should have done this way sooner.

Cleaned, taped up, and ready to go.


1st coat


2nd coat


3rd coat


Final coat


Result. It's in direct sunlight, and appears much darker in person. Yes, she is dirty...

 

Nice job! Im considering doing this as well to my bumper. Just worried it might look too plastic like. What do you think? I know that pictures do no justice, when compared to seeing it in person. Thanks.

 

Sweet. Let us know how it holds up. Will you take a side profile pic if you get time?

 

I'll try and get some better pictures this evening. I think it looks great and I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner. It really helped tie the back end together and finish off the look of the truck.

 

Will do. I'll do it this evening

 

You passed me on I-85 the other day. I saw your derped emblems and said to myself, This guy has to be on TW. Lol awesome truck man.

 

I've seen your truck around too. There's another Pyrite Mica with some work in the area but I haven't found him on here yet. We should try and get a few folks together

 

As requested, the color comes across better in these:

 

Awesome job.

 

Thanks!

 

Need opinions on light orientation for the 170s:

Down:


or Up:


My initial vote is down.

 

looks classic up... but that my opinion

 

I vote up.

 

Nice build, definitely like what you have done!

 

Thanks! Thoughts on the lights?

 

I vote down because when you get the LED bug, you'll want the light bars in the grill

 

looks good either way, i vote down though

 

Love the truck and i am 99% sure i have seen you around town. I want the same lift setup Drool !

 

I really like the black in those tail lights! I think I read that you bought them that way. I'm going to see if I can take mine apart and paint them similar to yours. I think I like them better than the tinted ones.
