Re: So I finally started...

the intros are probably around three inches of lip, they would just move the hub back, shouldn't cause any effect on the shock mount. I am sure that the intros would work, it's just the whole concept of the different look that i am considering. I emailed GreySpot just a moment ago. I am also "CONSIDERING" a 20/22 combo since a change is on the table already lol.

Re: So I finally started...

Clark is doing a rendering for me, just so that I can see it on a computer screen. He said it'll be about a week, which means that you all will see it as soon as I get it. I went to finishmaster today, and got me two blue colors. One, is monterey blu, which is the color on the lamborghini I posted on the previous page, the other blu nova, which is what the BMW is supposed to be. Also, picked up some product to work on my door panel some more, that won't be in until tomorrow, so maybe tomorrow afternoon I can work on that.

Re: So I finally started...

Yeah I want some new wheels too but I dont want billet wheels on a daily driver because of all the pot holes and shitty roads we have. Once my truck is no longer a daily driver then I will have no problem buying billet wheels

Re: So I finally started...

i dont want to run 22's on the front, as I stated, I intend on driving it. In order to fit 22's id need some small tires on the front, and i don't want to do that. I will however consider them on the back, being that'd only probably cost a couple hundred extra, more than likely ill stay with all 20's though.

Re: So I finally started...

we'll see, I will ask them how much it'd be to upgrade to 22's in the rear instead of the 20's.

Re: So I finally started...

So I realllly liked the look of the monterey paint in the can, i stirred both paints, and let it dry on a stick (of course this may be a little different than on a car!) and the monterey is a lot darker than I want, so we'll have to see.

Re: So I finally started...

Depending on the paint, it's sometimes hard to tell unless you shoot it like you would on your truck. That includes shooting over the same primer. I realize it was just a quick test but you'll also usually get a better feel if you cover a larger area than a paint stick.

Do you like the subaru blue color? Or the new Lexus blue? I want to use one of those with some pearl in it when I paint my truck later down the road

Totally unrelated but we just found out we got some more coverage in Minitruckins August '08 issue. Pics of 3 AV trucks. Check our show topic for details.
