Nice job Bro!
I couldn't hold it on and had to sign in in a hurry just to congrat you for your device! I like to appreciate dedication to craftsmanship, even if it's a simple job like yours.
Hope you allow me to give you a suggestion though: I noticed how nifty you secured your tubes to the board, but don't you think that over time the stress those screws are going to take won't it make them break or come off your board and ruin that nice finishing touch you've done to it?
Wouldn't it be better to drill through the board and replaced those screws for some sturdier round shapped head bolts and some nuts?
I'm not a fishing expert. Just wondering...
Cheers!

I have had them screwed in like that for probably 3 years and have made trips running 70 plus with rods in there and so far no problems with the screws. If they ever give me problems I will probably replace them with blots but until then Im just going to roll with the screws. Thanks for the advice though.

The idea behind this thread is awesome and there's been awesome ideas! I wish the majority of my modifications had been under 50$ because I have the next 2 years already budgeted out to when I can buy more stuff for my truck, rather depressing! I don't think a day will come where I say "ok, that looks good I'm done"

Black thunder is 100% correct. They are overlays. But in Lehmans terms, yes they are a sticker. EBay seller name is amazing decals. I found him on eBay and then we emailed back and forth so I could get the color I wanted. They said you don't have to take them off your truck but I found it way easier. Plus I had to paint the chrome. Annnddd didn't break the stubs!
Love the look, just curious how exactly you prepped the emblem to paint. Also, howd you remove the back emblem?
Second question, you may or may not know. I plasti-dipped my fender badges and the seller offers overlays for those as well. Do you think they could be applied over the PD?
