Re: should i add the clock or not?

There's very few right hand drive trucks I think I've only found 15 or so on the internet. I always get asked why I wanted a right hand drive vehicle though.

Re: should i add the clock or not?

I'd go with the clock, but red pad and painted clock. Just something to me about bright interiors and not just black, gray, or tans. Trevor

So would you leave the clock housing black or Same color as the red pad? I have a thread in the photo shop now looking for help with a few options.

Re: should i add the clock or not?

I would go red with the clock too, just remember to flatten the paint as it would probably be worse to be blinded by a glossy one. Trevor

Red pad, red clock. Black pad black clock. Either color should be flattened to a semi gloss or matte finish

Re: should i add the clock or not?

The more I do the more my mind changes lol. I was thinking of a black steering wheel and column and pad but the red pad and orange wheel would look good too.

Re: should i add the clock or not?

Decisions decisions. . To me, i would ignore the goofy poll. Seems to me youve put alot of thought into it and had already made up your mind you like it, so i say do it. Would be your signature. Ill be honest, first glance i thought it was too much. But more i look, the more i like it. It doesnt look factory, (there already is one), but it looks like it could be a GM accessory add on. Which i like..
As far as color, there is alot of black out there. To me the dare to be different could really set it apart. I vote the red. I like different.
But hey, do what feels right!!

Re: should i add the clock or not?

I have decided that it will go in. I just wanted to see what others thought of it. I do like the red as well It is just easier black but figuring all the " uneasyness" this build has been already why do easy now lol.

Re: should i add the clock or not?

You should never build your truck according to what other people think. It's not the Mona Lisa. It's not super rare. It's one of over a million and it should be yours.

Re: should i add the clock or not?

To be honest I was putting it in either way just sometimes if you ask you will get more input to better your original idea. The poll was more to draw more ppl to look.
