Re: Time for Some New Shooz

I think you should try it without the trim rings in the 2nd pic. The first is good with the trim rings.

Re: Time for Some New Shooz

Chakah, nice truck. I like both looks with your wheel/ tire combo, but man that patina and stance make that truck. Like the mexi- blanket seat too. Cool!!!
