Thank you. Been putting a lot of time into it lately.

I bought a car about 2 years ago and returned this truck back to stock and left it in Florida. I got it back pretty much in June looking like this:

But how does your exhaust sound? I'm thinking about a true dual set up, not sure yet

They looked good from far away but they looked like crap up close. I want stock chrome rims. The exhaust sounds really good for a v6. The guy at the shop who did it said its the best sound V6 he has ever heard. I have stock cats, 2.5" mandrel bent stainless, Flowmaster 44's, with 3.5"x18" tips. I had an X pipe on it before and it sounded alright, but with it removed it changed so much and sounds really good now.

I think it might look cleaner if you painted them silver instead of black, to match the side stripe. I think it would make it look more like the newer truck's 2-tone VS a nice truck with work truck bumpers. Just a suggestion.
