MY TINTING STEPS EXACTLY: wet sand 2000 grit then, prep for VHT 1 light coat but over lap the previous pass 50/50 then followed by a 2nd coat then, let dry, then when it comes to clear i use clear engine enamel, 4 coats and same thing keep every pass even, let dry and then wet sand with 2000 grit get all the orange peel out of it, then take Mequiars Rubbing compound and rub the crap out of it for like 5 mins, after that take Meguiars Ultimate polish and rub the crap out of it for like 5 min then clean with a fresh rag and BAM.... Sick Tails via VHT lol

My front windows are tinted some hence the darkness, and some smoked cab lights would be pretty bad ass.... also for tires im going 40s and 4:56s for spring (saving my pennies)

Looks like you got a really good trade James, I would add a rollpan, hidden hitch, towz, and smoked cablights

I vote this as well. Im not a big fan of rollpans on lifted truck, but on yours it would look killer. The towz and cablights just fit a big *** truck like that!!

truck looks really good but for me all that flare needs huge tires, those look like 35's on that truck due to them cutout flares.

They don't say much about flaps here but flares they do for sure, like you gotta have em to cover up the tires.

Yeah they do look smaller than 38s but it also feels small driving it until somebody on a 6 and 35s rolls passed lol...

but thanks swims

I hear ya man.

As for the chrome, I'm a chrome guy for sure, but hard choice, on the lighter colors it doesn't show up as much and I could go either way. The one down side would be it's a great looking truck and nice paint, removing it, maybe it wasn't painted under them, or maybe it'll rip the paint and require paint work once removed.

So honestly with the truck looking nice I think I'd leave em just for the sake of not having to do paint work or touch ups.
