Lets see those custom bowties

Thinking about doing something custom and I need ideas.

As in finish? I did a custom paint job on mine nothing too outlandish. Would do same way again, except with a few refinements. Top is OMNI Black, bottom & fender flares are Raptor Liner. I see factory is doing something around the fenders now to avoid rock chips. They clear over the raptor liner. If I had it to do over again...

I'd do a bigger rock guard on hood (I raptor lined front lip) then carry it over to fender terminating at end of headlight.
Spray the raptor liner as a finer grain. I just followed instructions for truck bed liner. (boost pressure and add a bit of reducer)
Paint the raptor liner behind the fender flares (saw somebody else do it then not use flares looked really cool).

I don't like look of lifted trucks but the wheel wells look empty with stock size tires. My next update will be larger tires to fill wheel wells. I use truck off road and never had much issue with clearance as stock.

I'd also like some sort of tiedown loop on the hood like the jeeps have.
I also need to rig up a roof rack / mount for light bar I bought. I think it looks really dumb above windshield.

Thanks, what did you think about doing with yours?

There was a guy I think on here, that did a custom paint job with multiple colors it looked so sweet.

I was thinking about doing something similar to the 70’s truck with the blue emblem. But I’m not sure how that will look with the red paint. I also want to do a flowmaster exhaust and maybe new style wheels.

Sweet

This ain’t the exact one the one I seen was like a paisley print you would see on a bandanna
But here’s a idea lol

That’s actually pretty awesome looking. Like a belt buckle or something

That would be cool! I notice some people just use the factory wheels from newer trucks. Looks pretty nice. Did you put a 6.0L in yours? I notice your handle is Vortec6000
