here are pics of the before and after of my ptm lower valance. there is a slight color difference of course cause the paint on the truck is almost 9 yr old. but it still looks good to me. i'll post a few other pics in a few.




i think it flows good with the rest of the truck. it goes good with my ptm mirriors, step rails, and door handles.

Looks good!! I don't have a lower valance on my due to hittin a trailer...oops. I'm just going to build a custom light bar coming outta the frame rails instead but yeah it def. looks good.

here are a few rear pics. the bed caps and border around the rear window was gray like the lower valance, so i used about 2 cans of krylon fusion satin black. it went on very well and bonded great to the plastic without sanding. i did use some krylon gloss on the bed rails but that didn't go on very well. but so far after a couple weeks it has held up very nicely. its been through an automatic car wash with no flaking.

my future plans for right now after i get back from gatlinburg will be new shocks front and back and new ceramic brake pads. as far as mods i want to get a ptm tonneau cover, rear sway bar, and either a trailmaster 2" leveling kit or a 2" drop shackle, i have not yet decided on that yet and i was also thinking of getting some kind of new 3rd brake light. but these mods will be a while till my bank account builds back up.

heres a side view that i found from when it snowed a foot+ this past winter. mind you i have no 4x4 or posi trac or locker and i went right through it with no problem.

Truck looks good with the PTM look. I just did my mirros PTM and love them. I don't miss that white stuff at all and never plan to live anywhere near it ever again, at least nowhere that gets as much as in your picture.

squirrelyyy

Looks very nice....the valance anyway. The rear truck pieces kinda look like a rough uneven armor all job. The rear window looks nice. I would resand the truck rails and used the same as the rear window surround.

yeah i know what you mean about the rails. the rails were kinda beat up on the ends. but what makes them look bad is the krylon gloss i used on them. it would not spread good at all. i went over them with the gloss several times to try and get an even look but it just wouldnt happen. i didnt use any gloss on the window border and it turned out good. so i guess i'll have to redo the rails at some point. but then again i was going to get a ptm tonneau cover.

thanks for the compliments

I think the cover would finish off the clean look of your truck. I love red trucks....but I may be a little bias..
