oops, ya...was fifteen bucks

local paint shop didn't recommend painting chrome because prep work + paint = still may not stay on...so they recommended buying an unpainted trim = $150 parts + $150 paint

I've been searching craigslist and junkyards...couldn't find a clean one

and I'm just going for a "clean stock street truck" look...not lifting it or dropping it

she's just a commuter, dirt bike hauler, drunk chick taxi, and rental property management truck
