[Reubencanyon]

This is why i dont hang with minitruckers. Hope u clean it up and get it looking good!

Instead of wasting money on cheap pink spray paint and making it look like ass. Save your pennies for suspension maybe?

My cousin is trying to snag one cheap for me.

Somehow I get this crazy feeling that deciding between different colors of plastidip is going to come up.

Why's that?

Your floormats are the least of your concern. You say that you want simple and clean, but use a loud and obnoxious color on the interior. Everyone else has already said it, but I'll re-iterate: painted interiors are cheap ricer shit.

Just because a part is easily removed - doesn't mean it should be painted.

I agree, which is why I am actually going to be wrapping a lot of the interior pieces with a floral fabric. It'll still be loud (and pink), but not cliche. I'm going to try not to go overboard on the fabric though, just enough to add some flair.

But in all honest, two small pieces painted in pink isn't too bad. Several years ago I would have painted the entire dash bezel trim... actually, several years ago, I did.

^ This. That's 90's ricer shit.

imo color coding interiour = no bueno

90% humid weather really puts a halt on any painting I was planning for today, and this weather is going to last all week. I did manage to paint the window cranks today because I can paint them inside.

I'm really itching to get to work....







Ignore the ugly floor mats, they are not staying.

[CraigSnedeker]

Ugh.

What are you ughing about?

[theseeker411]

No.

And who puts a roof rack on a truck?

[dvious]

Ugh.

[CraigSnedeker]

Thank you, haha.

I found this truck online (for sale)...



And photoshopped it...



This is the look I am going for, except a long bed obviously.

Truck has potential and I'd just like to point out that Friar Truck is a hilarious name.

Didn't want my post to come off as harsh. Good luck with this, seems like you have the idea of cleaning it up before modifying it.

No problem man, and yeah that's exactly what my plan is.

For $550 they better be mint. Those wheels with tires are $300. Check the thirdgen forums always somebody selling them.

It did seem kinda high to me.

Since your on the cheap about lowering, follow 'MRNICEGUY's advice, drop it with cut springs for now, go out and buy side skirts, wheels, and your set... close to a 1,000$ and it looks success. ---Have a friend that just bought a S10 that has a body kit, and thought his shit was low at stock height....

That does seem like my best option right now, I never knew I could even do that until yesterday.
