Cool For my 1000th Post, I Unveil...OPTIMUS!!

For my 1000th post (in only 5 months of posting!), I thought I would show a pitcure of what my truck should look like in the next two weeks or so. Here is a Photoshop of what it will look like with the lift, the new tires, the black-chromed wheels, and my custom grille. Also notice that I eliminated the Amber from the headlights either by going with the '07s and getting rid of the side reflector or taking my '06s apart (assuming it is possible). I know the P-chop is not the best quality, but it gives a rough idea of what I am going for! I will also have the Stage 3 Water/Meth injection done, the 96" Red LED Big Rig Lights, the LED cab lights, the ATS Arc Flow Intake, the BD Intercooler, the GDP 392 Comp. Kit, the Diamondback Cover (in black), the CB Antennas, the exhaust jet-coated black, and maybe even the Road Armor installed. Enjoy and thanks for being so helpful over the past few months. Without your help; my rig would be nothing!

That looks good, but you know how I feel from earlier posts. Remember, you can take it too far and get tacky.

Looking tough though.

I agree. I am trying to make sure I do not cross that line.

It reminds me of the car in that movie The Car (I think that's what it was called), only the truck version. You're going to scare the crap out of anyone in front of you!

I think you should get your name on the grille backwards (like ambulances do), so what way people can see whos about to drive over them in their rearview mirrors

It looks awesome!!!!! I do think that if it were me i would leave the wheels chrome. Not that the black looks bad but the chrome sure does set the black off well.

acook- That is my D.Wiggs logo I made (the real one looks better, that was a quick P-chop).

NukleusX- I like your idea but I don't plan on being behind anyone!!!

rockcrawler304- I am going to have it CNC'd out of metal and then painted metallic black to match the truck along with my horizontal grille that I have to buy. I am trying to find a grille that looks just like the factory without the vertical bar (like I P-chopped). I am not a fan on the super close together horizontal bars, although it may look alright and I may have to settle for it.

I am doing Black Chrome because I think Matte Black would look dirty, Black wouldn't match my truck since it's not jet Black, but Black Chrome would be the best combination (IMO) of shine and blackness!
