Ya, I have mixed opinions with it as well… it looks alot different in person… in the pics it looks like a damn work truck lol. I think it will look alot better when I start on the color matching

the 2wd is pretty close to being back together… I am gonna sell it to throw some money on the loan for this truck. Kiesels dad is actually intrested in it I believe

George, do you have Billys #? I wanted to talk to him about colormatching some stuff for me. Did he sand down your textured shit or did you buy paintable stuff?

I want to have my mirrors, door handles, rear bumper pad, tailgate handle/bezel and my front air dam all painted white

billy had me recently wet sand with 600 grit over the texture stuff but have to make sure you get a good scuff. if youre paint code is same as mine then if you have him paint the parts i got few thigns needing painted as well. I went off roading with my blazer and billy painted my textured valance and it held up to the woods and abuse.

if you want it perfectly smooth youre going to have to sand alot of the texture off. but be best to let him do it ill pm you his number
