Heres the best pic I have of my badges


what do u mean by rhino lining the bumpers and rockers? are rockers the lower side panels on the truck? im interested in this as well as i have a all black truck except the bumpers and rockers? are painted a silver color and want to get these black to go with the color of the truck

Ya I pretty much do everything with my cars myself, occasionally with a buddy.

Any suggestions on whether I should get tubulars or running boards?

I personally like the tubulars, but I see a lot of them rusted out and falling apart here in Wisconsin.
Definitely tubulars, I want a set myself.

JLindsay32, I checked out your link...truck looks real good, I got some VHT lying around, might have to tint my tails as well...maybe spray my headlights lightly too.
My suggestion would be to tape the Reverse Light, my reverse light output was terrible...

So far on my 07 Lariat I have installed a BedRug (love it), new grill, rearview camera and chrome handle accents. Next will be wheels and tires. Subtle changes work better IMO.

Where did you get the reverse camera? I've been looking for the one in the tail gate handle forever and can't find it.

Do you think the bed rug is better than a Spray in, and how dark is it. I've been debating between the two, but i've never seen a bed rug in person.

Very nice...are those the 3M adhesive chrome accents or actual handles that replaced the factory ones, and I'm curious about the BedRug as well, I thought about doing a spray on.
