well i havent had a lot of free time lately but i got them painted today.

I kinda like it all black (thats just the tape painted) but i think having the chrome two tone will look better with the rest of the chrome on my truck

I say go all black. That is what I will be doing with my irocs..Just powdercoated gloss black.. Personally I think it makes them look better..

I think it looks a lot cleaner like that so im happy.

I also got my rims put on and my fenders trimmed today but i dont have a very good picture of that right now so i will take one tomorrow.

Edit: Lol ok well fine ill post the only picture i have of them right now but it doesnt really show the more aggressive stance. And i still need to get my damn bumper finished!! its looking kinda homely unfinished in this picture

Sweet! I think the 2 tone rims look much better than all black. You can sand that aluminum down to 1400 grit and polish them with cut polish to a mirror shine to match your chrome, that would look sick

Truck looks great dude! I wouldnt worry too much over the bumper, makes it look like you've had to use it before

Thanks guys! But i never thought about sanding them down but thats a good idea cuz the clear coat is going out and looks kinda bad.

And yeah i guess the bumper does look like its been used lol it just needs its top caps, clevis mounts and a real coat of paint. then if i ever get around to it the tube

Looks a little better with the wider stance

Your truck is looking really sweet! I'm definitely digging the bumper, even not totally finished.
