after much computer testing... I decided to order some vinyl and made me some racing stripes... (I'm still working on them)...

oh haha!! i thought the blue was part of the racing stripes. the blue looked bada** on there. maybe pinstripe the outside of the stripes a very thin blue??

 

[Stic-o]

I just did a web search and I went with the one that I thought was cheaper..... I ordered the raw material and cut them at home... black mate

Iknow it was tape...but yeah.. I like the Blue!!!

I thought about just leaving it there.... it looked nice.... the problem is that I have no blue at all in the truck and I kinda wanted to keep the black/grey theme.... I might do the thin blue stripe....

or you could even change the smaller outside stripes to blue. its just an idea, something like this:

ps: did you not like the mesh grille? i noticed you had it in one shot but then stocker in the next...

cool.. what software did you use to paint the lines???

I home-made the grille.... it looks nice from far away, but from up close it looks a little rough... the mesh grilles that I like are about $200+... so I just decided to paint the oem flat black... until I can affort a nice one...

Nice!


I bet that adds 20mph to the top end speed too

BTW, I vote for blue outside stripes too. That really sets it off.

or u could paint the grilles you made black...

I don't know about that... but last time I dyno'd it it did add about 10% more torque and 10%hp... that's even more than my kkm
