1. Interior: two toned plastics, black upper pillars (everyone knows the 3rd and 4th gens all have tan upper pillars), and black microsuede headliner and visors.

Thoughts: The ONLY thing that has made me second guess this is painting the upper pillars. I've heard great things about SEM but my concern is areas of constant use, such as the seatbelt hangers that will get rubbed daily by the seatbelt itself and the grab handles that don't get used as often but when they do there is more pressure applied.

this doesn't last well for repeated use so you have to pick and choose what you can do .... seatbelt hangers- no.. also the inside of the clips for the sunvisors no ... and i wouldn't do the rods at all the grab handles are bad for me but i have a lifted truck and i date short girls so they get used alot and girls all wear damn rings that chew that shit up ... so touch ups are needed do you have a sunroof?

with all that said i've had this done for 5 years roughly and can't imagine not having it done... i would do it over and over again even with all the right stuff its only a couple hundred dollars to do it all

flares kick ass. just saying.

And I think on a 2wd, they look pimp.

So that SEM won't hold up? What do you do for the high use or high wear areas?

The sem stuff is more of a flexible coating than a dye real high areas I jusy wouldn't do bc it will look terrible

Terrible chop, but you get the idea...thoughts?

That actually doesn't look to bad... I like how it angles down at the end.

i would trim it the other way even with the bottom of your headlight

Doing the plastic work on the fenders wouldn't be too hard. There are some 3M products that you mold using pink polypro and it is sandable/paintable. My suggestion would be to make some real test panels with cardboard or styrofoam and slowly trim down until you find something you like. You can also look at other truck fender designs and try to find one you like and then graft them together...easy easy

If you don't give the body guy a picture of exactly what you want he will charge you out the ass, expecting to have to change it multiple times.
