    Except when he gets on an accident and the air bag goes off, then he has an emblem in the forehead.

    I know exactly what I want for my bedside, but I can't find the image I have in mind, and my fine art skills suck.

    Stock for now.
    I have to disagree with this. If you're going to show what you've done,why can't it be open for discussion? As long as it doesn't get out of hand,off topic,name calling and derogatory slurs,I'm fine with it.

    Plus like you said, OP is not looking for thoughts,but people liking can have a say and people not like have to fear of a temp ban?


    My input: do not like. Too overly done with decals and nothing more to it. I.e armor

    It's all good. I learned a long time ago not to worry what others think. It's my truck, and I like it. that's all that matters to me. There's going to be people that think it's cool, and others that don't. And I'm ok with both opinions.
    As for the lack of armor, that's my choice. This is my daily driver. I got this truck to be able to haul things, not take it offroad. I will admit my truck is a pavement queen, but there nothing wrong with that IMO.
    Anyway. If you like it, enjoy the pics. If you don't that's ok too.

    Civil discusion is fine. However, the third post in this thread, which I deleted, was NOT in any way "civil". THAT is what wont be tolerated. to add, not many people give credit to someone who puts forth their effort in which to make THEIR truck more THEIR own. Mods are mods. Regardless if its for looks, off-road, street performance, etc. If someone cant apriciate the labor, and just wants to shit on someones efforts, then they can go to another site.

    I like your style, man. Too many people do things to their truck for "looks" but to please others. A whole lot of armor and lifts on trucks that never see dirt where I live. I'm glad you're the type to see through that stuff. Honestly, I would personally never put transformers stuff all over my truck. But I respect your sticking by your choice and making logical decisions.

    If you did want to up the performance of your headlights at all I think a proper projector retrofit would really complete the look of "PRIME" there.
