Default Let the Mods begin

The body kit on my truck started coming off so I have decided it's time to finish the transformation of my truck from a street runner into a full pre-runner.

BEFORE:




STAGE 1 : Removal of Body panels




It was a good thing I took them off when I did , otherwise I would have never found all the rust.


To come:

prep lower body for vinyl wrap.
Company logo collage wrapped by 111 ink to cover panel damage.
Front pre-runner bumper/lightbar/skid.
Rear pre-runner bumper.
New shoes
Cut rear panels

Once all thats together Ill see what little money I have left to move on over to performance mods. lol.

Thanks I think so too. I'm not sure why they put ground effects on a lifted truck, but I guess it made it stand out? It's gonna look good when I'm done

it does suck actually I wouldn't recommend it. It's fine for flat surfaces but driving up hill you cant see ****.

This weekend I've been doing all the sanding on the panels, filling the holes, replacing screws, and a few coats of primer. The wraps getting designed as we speak. Hopefully, I'll have that on within the next week because all this bare metal is making me sad

Oh nice, you doing a vehicle wrap. Will that be a complete vehicle wrap or just the area where you removed the panels?
