Default Truck is lookin way better now

So long story short...
I painted my rims and the truck looked like this





then I used a tree to re-decorate the front and it looked like this



after over a month in the shop, I finaggled myself Hella headlights, new reverse lights, and a Roush grille. Truck looks like this now.





I threw on some lights to help backing up too



Truck has come a really long way since I picked it up from the dealership.


(already had added window tint)

Something is up with the gaping... You can see it on top of the right and left headlight. I am only telling you since the body shop fixed it.

Agreed there is something seriously wrong there, including they didn't paint the panel above the bumper.

I don't recall off the top of my head how the core support goes in (one part, several parts) but that headlight is no where close to being right. It wouldn't have left my shop like that.

From looking at the pic of the damage the panel you're referring to wasn't painted to begin with.. So I'm assuming it's an XL.

I would paint the grille black. In my opinion the chrome looks really out of place on a truck thats blacked out with no chrome anywhere else.
