Those wheels painted black with chrome centers and chrome lug nuts would look cool

No on the visor. Other than that the plans sound good. What kind of hood is that?

Not bad. I would black out everything, including the wheels. Take the 4x4 sticker off n leave it off, piant emblems n bumpers.

its a stock hood that the previous owner bolted a hood scoop too. not functional tho. it doesnt look too bad but it also isnt amazing ya know? haha. and why not a visor Screwy 01'? would it be too much or do you just not like them? and 2000whitescab, i already blacked out the emblems they are just not in these pics, and idk about the bumpers. i think it would be too much black if i do the wheels too. i am planning on the rims tho.

plans sound good but id really take your time if you paint those wheels a couple of people i know have tried it and end up ruining a good set of wheels. rough them up good make sure there spotless and I would definitely recommend using a product like xynol cleaner/adhesion promoter before you spray the first coat its worth the money and makes you paint stick...or have them powder coated if that an option you probably already know all that just figured I'd throw it out there.....and I agree about the visor but I just don't like that look cab lights would look good though just my opinion

How did you mount the lights behind your grill? I like that look.

i actually mounted them upside down. it wasnt easy cuz its oretty tight in there and i have 6 inch lighs i belive but they may be 5 inches idk. ne way i took off the cover that goes over the hoodlatch. then i just drilled a hole big enough for the bolt from the light to fit thru it. then bolted it in and ran the wires. the concept is easy but it is just tight in there like i said. i can get closer pics for you if you want. if you want them just message me and ill send them to you.
