Re: stripes or no stripes

ignore him , hes talking bout ur xtreme body kit, but keep it , it looks b.a. i agree mirrors, step shavers , cowl hood, the stripes look good but i think they would look very bad ass on a ram air hood like this one

Re: stripes or no stripes

those hoods run anywhere from 250-400 some are functional others are not , its easiest if u can find a cheap used one but if not they are a good investment

Re: stripes or no stripes

I agree I really like the stripes as well. Step shavers, ss mirrors and billet grill inserts would really set it off. Maybe even lower it like 2 inches. Nice truck though man really digging the exhaust set up!

I like the stripes. I dont think I would ever take them off, unless I got a cowl hood.

Re: stripes or no stripes

no stripes but if you want stripes go and paint some graphite stripes on there, i had that color on my 03 2500HD, its like an extremely dark gray, but those stripes layed on a black truck would look good
