BA....Ling!

[DVS1]

Well........I wasn't really going for the bling bling look.....
just going for a single bling!..
Anyway, all of the talk on this board about 20's, inspired me to go for it!........now over to the audio forum! I 'm getting the itch for an upgraded system..(not a full blown IASCA "rash" like my last system...just a little audio/video itch...(god...I love to be inspired!)

Anyway, forgive the pics..I snapped them in my garage(which is not clean, and quite dark at the moment).....its raining here in chicago!
Hope ya'll like!

Sorry, I'm just a stupid offroader, but what does Bling, Bling mean anyway?

Oh, and the rims look nice.

 

[ShadowA2J]

Looking good!! I like the rims. I am partial to 5 points myself, so I really like the way they look on your X.

 

[DVS1]

Thanks all!

Jaws......
If memory serves me correct, bling,bling started a few years back in a rap song by a couple of southern rappers named Eightball and MG (I believe they claim to have started the terminology)....what it signifies is the sound a cash register makes when opening...bling, bling!.....(as opposed to cha-ching).....thats just one story of origin I've heard....I'm sure there are others....

I like the rims!!

With that much rotor/caliper showing.............time to break out the high-temp paint!!

Nice Job!

[DVS1]

yea robb.....I agree about the paint!......

Any of you guys have any tricks or tips for painting the calipers?

you should get some 13" crossdrilled Brembos. The kit for the front and rear should "only" cost $1400. Wheels are looking good

DVS1- How does the front grill guard look with the rims on the X? I have a grill guard and want to get rims but I'm not sure how the 2 are going to look together.

 

[DVS1]

Kevex,

I like the look!....

It kinda gives the street look a little rugged edge.....if that makes any sense......
picture it.....you see an agressive profile comming at you from the front(brushguard and blackouts).....as it passes, you get a little hint of bling.......nice combination in my opinion....

Troll has done this, and it aint no "kit". Brembo will be glad to make you some as they did for him, but they are one-off customs... if memory serves they are closer to $5000.

BTW- who gave this thread a 1 star rating??? your truck looks damn good.

 

[MO_GUY]

lookin good, what wheels are those? looks like you've lowered it a bit too......cant wait to see more pictures when it gets nice outside

 

[chevyh8r]

LOOKS NICE!

 

[DVS1]

MO_GUY,

They are Sendel S12's......
Yea, I'm now itching for a nice warm sunny day......
its about 38 degrees outside, with some BIG ASS snow flakes fluttering around!

Whats the best brand to use??? I thought about painting my calipers, but then again, they don't look to bad.

bling-bling adj 1. fancy. Often suggests that a person is showing off. ("Oh, look at Mr. V, all bling-bling with the new cell phone!")
