am i the only one who thinks my hoe looks better with the roof rack on? lol

I know your pain 350V, I work 30 hours a week makin 7.50 an hour, plus my side jobs.
I make enough to pay for my gas, and bank maybe 30 bucks a week.

Start with the cheap stuff, moulding removal, tint, shit, you should even be able to find a decent set of rims for cheap. i picked up a pair of NBS rims for FREE, and threw some tires on em that i needed anyway, and it looks 1000x's better than the stockers.

I see it different from everyone else tho. **** the exterior IMHO, I sit on the inside, so thats what i care about.

In the year i've owned my truck, i've done the full interior LED swap, system, tint, rims (nothing fancy), demoulding, and smoked the tails and corners.

she dont look that bad. just keep in mind that it takes time. I'm on the verge of sellin mine thanks to the crappy gas mileage.

but the verge means i wont let it go unless someone offers up 5k.

sure its a money pit, but Its a fun money pit. you'll get it the way you want eventually. time is key
