Thanks for the education on that. I had no idea and assumed it was some metal that was chromed. 👍👍 -Pidge 1 Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted February 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 Also I'm still thinking of rearview mirrors. I do like the BMW 2002 flag mirrors I had but was thinking of something else now. Carbon fiber? I am not sure yet. 1 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted February 20, 2023 Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 I think carbon on the exterior would be the only thing that color, aside from the tires. Stick with chrome or stainless. And please don't put them on the fenders. This is way more of a muscle car at this point than a JDM tuner car. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted February 20, 2023 Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 How about some scooter mirrors? 1 1 Quote Link to comment

d.p Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) What is going on with the front valence of your truck? Looks like someone took a cutoff wheel and just did a doodle across it. Is that what our trucks look like without the stock valence and bumper? Edited February 21, 2023 by d.p 1 Quote Link to comment
