after months of trying to decide if I wanted to put the R/T stripes on or not.. today I finally decided to do it.

They could have gone on better but it also could have went worse so I was happy with the out come..

Ok...... Thanks for the nice comments but what do you guys really think? Your not going to hurt my feelings... Keep in mind that I'm waiting on my new wheels and tires to come.. 1 of the wheels are on back order. So that's why they are not on yet.

If I did it on mine I wouldn't have them that long on the hood...maybe only half way from the fender to cowl.

I think once you get the wheels in, it'll all tie in good

I hear ya Dave. I was going to shorten them up but with the 345 on the hood there was a big gap and it looked funny with that gap between the 345 and the stripe so I thought I'd try this way. I agree that it does look a little..."long" on the hood.

However while I was waiting for them to dry the white film that is there until you pull it off actually looked really cool because it looked like it was ghost stripes so now it's got me thinking to order some stone white or slate grey and putting them on there to give it that ghost look.. It's hard to explain.

So, what are your plans for the bumpers and wheels?

I have a set of 20" Moto Metal 961 black wheels with some 33" kumho Road ventures on order but 1 of the wheels are on back order so I'm waiting for them to get one in..

and I'm still trying to decide if i'm going with a RA front bumper or if i'm going to go with a sport bumper... I want the RA but don't know if it would really look good on my truck or not

You put them on yourself? Are the stickers or how do you do it? I don't have any experience doing that so I'm curious?

Yes I put them on myself. It's pretty simple but it's a pain in the ass... It would be better if you had 2 people working on it unlike I did.

It comes like a regular sticker and you just have to trim it to the size you want wet it down and use something to push out the bubbles wait for it to fully dry and then peel the white film off and your going to have bubbles left over so take a needle and poke little holes in the air pockets and press them out..

I took about 1 hour per side maybe a little more than an hour.

Thats cool. You order them from a special decal website or what? Can you customize them to say anything?

Yeah I got them from an Online decal shop.. and they have a bunch of things you can have them say.

Here is where I got mine:

haha I know Mike.... I was going to wait until I get my new rims and stuff before I get a new sig pic lol..and yes I would like to get the laramie bumper with the black in the middle... Just gotta find one lol..

I don't think I would like the bull bar.. I see it on other trucks and have never really liked the fit of them

Not bad. Maybe little better if they angle back some more. Like where they break over the hood and head down toward your emblem. Slightly angled rearward.
But they look good as is..

Dave............ IMHO I would put a big Dragon with the head that starts on the hood and it wraps down the side of your truck all the way to the back bumper......

Go Ed Hardy on that bitch

Pure fucking sexyness
