But Ill keeps things posted as money starts rolling in. Any suggestions let me know!!!! Ill take advice from anyone.

is it just me or do you have your headlights pointed at the sky?

Hey those clear marker lights look pretty cool. Five minutes with a $5 can of black asphalt undercoating and a wire brush on those frame rails would make it a whole different truck. :icon_couchhide: (you asked...lol)

they're installed wrong. He posted a thread about it a few days ago. He should have them fixed by now.

I hope so, lol.

Flamethrower exhaust? :icon_denk: That should be interesting.

hey! Are you having any issues with your paint? i.e. tiny splits, bad fading?

i had that issue with my lights but that was because my ballasts weren't allowing my lights to settle to their right spot. since i yanked the high beams out for regular bulbs (i live in urban america) they went down and are great now.

i can't wait to see the rest

Ah thanks guys!!! Im planning on fixing the lights tommorow. But I just noticed my paint on my hood is going. Ive never waxed id :O so thats probably why, but, my hood is screwed anyways. It flew up on me while driving because i didnt close it all the way. Thanks for the feedback guys!!!!

But other than the hood paint, the only other part i notice is on driver side rear quarter panel looks like it's losing some.

Alright guys, I finally fixed the gap!!!!


I also figure out, that with projector headlights, YOU HAVE TO MODIFY TO MAKE THEM FIT!! http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...9214/front.jpg

What i did was cut out some more of the existing hole in the metal, to make the bigger lights fit. Otherwise they wont, and it'll make them crooked.

THE FINAL PRODUCT

much better.... i still don't like halos but its ok... looks great now

The high beams make your truck look sad, lol.
Glad you are able to fix the wonky fit.

yea, ive noticed that it makes is almost look like a sad face. lol. But thanks guys!

Just put on a new used hood today! paid $30 for it, and its black, but you can hardly tell!!

Looks like a good one....can't beat the price.
Was it hard to gap and align it? Did you have an extra set of hands around?

to be honest, i just bolted it right up with no aligning problems, but yeah i had a friend with me, but im sure it couldve been done with just myself. the hood prop actually holds up both sides even when they arent bolted down.

but do you usually have to align and gap it?

sometimes they can be a pia but having some help is great if you can get it - looks good - I kinda like the two tone look - then again, I can be a bit of a redneck lol - oh well, I like it.

thats what i said, but i really cant tell unless im close to my car, about 10 feet away and you cant even tell its black, but im glad it is, otherwise it would be really tacky.

yessir, brown woulda been a whole different story :icon_razz:

Just got a brush guard for $30!! Im getting lucky! Ill try to put it on this weekend.

interior led's on the way, should be here tomorrow, and i just ordered some leds for my license plate.

Where'd you order them from?

ebay.

btw CBR, im in daytona, were like 30 mins away lol.

Yeah, I know. lol

well shoot, if you need a hand on your blazer, let me know.

Bad news guys, the brushguard didnt fit. I had it on, but it was only held on by 2 bolts that werent in the right spots.... i was pretty sad.

that is always a bummer

im just going to buy a bull bar.

Just put my dome and rear LED's in. they are awesome!!

the pictures dont do it much justice. But i recommend everybody should switch to LED's whether they are white or colored.

Alright guys.... The halos are gone. Went back to stock.

ordered some 10000K hid's

and got myself some White led's for my gauge cluster.

Along with that, repainted the grill i've been putting off.

Heres the outcome.

Sanded it down with 400 like everyone told me. http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...-41-08_885.jpg

used some $4 krylon outdoor flat black.

also painted the orange bumpers flat black too

I messed up a little on the left side, but ill fix that later.

Hey man I think you should paint the chrome on your bumper and the mouldings down the side with the same thing with the money you save after you read some truth at this link here. lol :icon_couchhide:

why does everyone want blue lights? I think they look like crap. I have 4000K in my highs and lows they work very well

eh, i just like that look. But i mean, i know they dont provide alot of light, because my 12000K's didnt work very well. I just like to look of the whole thing.

hey B1, so should i do the moudlings all black? including the grey and chrome?
