Cool Florida Drivers..Know of a good custom shop?

I'm located in the Tampa Bay area in Florida & would like to have some custom graphics possibly put on my truck in the future...mainly just pin stripes or something simple that looks sporty. I've seen graphics on some trucks that look really cool but others that look really cheap & unprofessional. Any ideas???

There are no truck anythings in South Florida, except for one. Speed and Truck World on Sunrise Blvd, down here in Ft. Lauderdale.

This state sucks for trucks.

Speed and Truck does anything from lifts to lighting to pin striping.

Where is Mad Mods located?

I know the Tampa/St. Pete area hosts some great car shows; attend the next one, regardless of what autos are there. Ask the owners who did their graphics (ones you like), and go from there.

If your ever in the central Florida area (more towards Daytona), there's a guy that did some ghost flames on my Harley. He's great; Chris Cruz. He does bikes, cars, boats, etc. He is a bit costly, but his work has been featured in "Easy Riders" and "Hot Rod" magazines. The murals he has done are friggin' lifelike. He will do whatever you want.

I'm running a true exhaust setup with 2 AERO Performance mufflers & Chrome tips. Anyone in Florida looking for a good exhaust shop with reasonable pricing checj out Mark Mcelwains Custom Exhaust in Ruskin...you'll be glad you did. By the way he did my last truck with si/do setup using 1 AERO Performance muffler Chrome tips & did a great job on it too. Check out my pics..
