There was a truck at this years NADP annual august blackout, Mike Drever, there is a pic of it in one of the diesel mags. He has alot of the mods that you want to do,, it looks awesome. You might be able to see some pics of it online at some of their websites.

Yeah I am particular to it. With just a small amount of accents. Mikes truck is beautiful, my gf fell in love with it,, and not only that it was incredibly fast, 11.5s all day long with a single turbo, and a small shot of nitrous

I kinda watch ebay. I have bought a couple of different styles of headlights and tailights off of there, right now I am running headlights that are close to stock, but are black where it used to be chrome and my tailights are leds

I think you are on the right track. Its difficult to start off with a biege colored truck and try to make it look cool and sporty. It's a grandpa color but I think if you follow my steps you could have a nice looking truck.

I'm not so keen on your current rims fitting into your new look.

Get rid of as much chrome as possable. I'd like the sport look and I think if you went with regular old painted sport stuff it wold look real nice and the srt-10 stuff is cool as well. If you went with the srt-10 hood it would be nice since you already need a new bumper if you also went with a srt-10 bumper just as long as you cut off the very bottom dam off it since I think it looks dumb.

Depending if you cange your rims like I sudgest I highly reccomend you go with some smoked cab lights, or clear if you keep your siny wheels, and go with smoked/black or projector headlights. headlight

I think if you had a solid beige srt-10 looking truck it would look nice but I think some different rims would look even better. Like if you went with more faster looking rims instead of the super chrome shinny bling bling rims you have on it now. I think a black rim would look sweet...like how some of the new srt-10 night runners have. Maybe a 20-22: KMC Rockstar or other sporty ooking rim. Dont lift it keep it low and maybe lower if you can.

This reminds me of a certian all black crew cab 4x4 dmax in diesel power sevral months back. It was an all sleek all black dmax with a lower stance but still 4x4.

I feel like you need to fill your fenderwells out a little better with either bigger rim/tire or lower it 2" all around like the dmax did, and a few other 4x4 diesel dragsters have.

This isnt going to be as easy as say a more sporty color but I think if you make the right decissions your truck can have the look your going after.

I think your truck would look sweet if you follow my advise.

Sounds like you have a good plan layed out. Only suggestion I have is to stay away from APC products, absolute garbage. You can find a much better quality roll-pan in steel for not much more money.
