Nice job on the painting. Congrats on not doing it half assed and just plasti-dipping them. Lol. Very cool truck.
On the rims, did you want them to stick that far out or was it just simpler to change the 1 rim vs the other 3?

Thanks guys. It was a lot of work but well worth it. I have a friend who has a blue flame 2014 STX that I am about to start on and he wants his badges done too so I am putting something together for those now. I confess I thought about plasti-dip but my 2008 had badges that I sprayed with Fusion only to find they quickly greyed out and became oxidized. I wanted to avoid that this time.
The wheels are a long story. I originally ordered 4 x 22x9.5 +15 offset. When they arrived I had 3 with +15 offset and got 1 with the +38 offset because they don’t sling crap all over the side of the truck. I was going to send the other 3 wheels back but I decided to run it through an automatic car wash and scraped up the two on the passenger side. So, I decided I would replace the 3 +15 with the +38 offset wheels. I have one of them already sitting in my office and ordered another one today. I run a cell farm that gets me points that I redeem for amazon gift cards and with those I buy the new wheels so I am not out the cash since I am a single parent and on a tight budget. I should be able to order the last wheel in about a month. Then I will take them to Discount Tire and have them changed.

Almost forgot to give credit where credit is due. Moody Blue cut the vinyl for the fender and tailgate badge inlays and the oval emblem overlays. Very happy with the results.
I am contemplating ordering the grill and tailgate ovals new and taking them apart to PTM the fender badges.

Wondering if there have been any more updates in the last 10 months. Truck was looking super clean. I really like the direction it's going. Also appreciate a clean Supercab since that's what I drive. Not a clean one, but a Supercab.
