Well, the time finally came to take care of that dent in the front bumper that's been bugging me. Since I'm fairly anti-chrome, a simple direct replacement was out of the question. I thought about ding it PTM, but that seemed too common as well. So, I decided to going with a PTM valance and carbon fiber wrapped bumper:

It took me 2 days to get the job done, mostly because of waiting overnight for the paint to dry. While I was at it, I added a black air dam extension to the bottom of the valance.
I'm not completely happy with the way the top bumper pad fits the new bumper. Eventually, I'm going to have to take it apart and do some fitting to get it to lay flat.

I redid the rocker stripes with a different style. The other ones were starting to peel off at the back where the individual diagonal slash decals were smaller. I like this style better anyway.

It's starting to get cool around here, so I installed some set heaters. Carbon fiber elements and 10 heat setting for each seat. I think the switch looks pretty good, too. I'll relocate it to the center console when I eventually do and Expy console & seat swap.

Damn... you've done a really nice job with this truck... like the fact that you actually did alot of "custom work" not just added "custom items".. if that makes sense lol.. Only thing I'd be doing is a set of black 20s..

Thanks, guys! I'm moving in the next couple of months, but after that I'm planning on putting some all black 20's or 22's on her.

I've been debating which rims to get for some time, while waiting for my tires to wear out enough to justify replacing them. Well, commuting from Ft Worth to Austin for a month, and finally moving here, my old tires were shot! They would slide around in the slightest wet weather. So, I finally pulled the trigger got some new 20" rims and tires yesterday.
The new tires are about an inch wider and just a hair larger in diameter. The extra contact (and the fact that they aren't bald) sure makes them handle better than my old tires! The ride is still pretty nice, despite these being much lower profile than the OEM tires.
