Saw my old truck today. Very disappointed in what they did with it to the point that I don’t want to buy it back anymore.

hopefully. theyre flat. maybe the paint and clear will apply evenly. though, im not confident the edges will be clear and there wont be splattered blue over the yellow. let me know once u get a vanity plate how it came out. my stamped ones are shit quality. the white ones are good quality.

That happened to me with my '93 S10 that I sold back in '03. I was thinking about trying to buy it back when my friend told me he saw it back in this area so I drove by it and noticed it was in pretty rough shape. Big dents/damage and rust and looked pretty beat. I shouldnt have gotten rid of that truck and shouldve followed thru with the lift kit (2wd) and eventual v8 swap I wanted to do to it.
