BaddBusa2005,
I will take that as a compliment.
Someone on another forum said it looked like a train almost...

Thanks for takin the time to post a response.

Very much a compliment, I dig it.

Thanks dude...

I'm still open to ideas if you have any. Was thinking about moving the headlights down to the lower pockets and leaving the uppers empty.???

Ivan D. · 12-27-2007, 12:08 PM

that may actually turn out kinda cool, me thinks you should try it

FlatBrokeRacing · 12-30-2007, 05:45 AM

I may try it Monday and see what happens.

Thanks Ivan.

it looks hungry with the bumper that way....dont think i would have thoguht to do it that way,,but to each there own...i think once you get the rear lowered it will look good...

Here's another idea, once you move the headlights down, use the upper pockets for ram-air intake inlets, kinda like what Gerardo did with his bumper light pockets

streetstar · 12-30-2007, 11:14 AM

the red trim rings and center caps look a little off --- i also vote for turning the bumper back around---

but the flat black looks good - right on

FlatBrokeRacing · 12-30-2007, 05:54 PM

68GMC454,
It took a day or two for the "bumper flip" to grow on me. Either way it goes, I gotta get the rearend down even with the front.

Ivan,
I have been playin with that idea as well. That is kind of what gave me the idea to try and move the headlights.

Streetstar,
If I change the color, it will probably be to blue, "Dark Reflective Blue"...I'm just demented like that...

Keep the feedback comming...

BaddBusa2005 · 12-30-2007, 06:33 PM

what seats do you have in your truck?

FlatBrokeRacing · 12-30-2007, 06:50 PM

2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse....

Minimal work to get them in there. They were also "donated"

BaddBusa2005 · 12-30-2007, 06:51 PM

any pics of them directly?

FlatBrokeRacing · 12-30-2007, 07:02 PM

Lemmie look..........

FlatBrokeRacing · 12-30-2007, 07:06 PM

This is all I have. Drivers seat needs to be recovered.

BaddBusa2005 · 12-30-2007, 07:12 PM

doesnt look to bad at all. nice

FlatBrokeRacing · 12-31-2007, 07:17 AM

Thanks,
I'm still tryin to figure out the center console I'm going to make for it. It is gonna have to house a 12in. Fosgate sub, maybe a den mount, gotta have 2 coffee cup holders, redirect the heating ducts ......

It is just a toy ya know.
Can't remember if I said so or not in this post, but AS IS, still have under 550.00$ in it...Soo far, I'm ahead of the game..That is why I like hearing feedback from you guys (and girls)

Thanks for the positive feedback.

BaddBusa2005 · 12-31-2007, 06:25 PM

I am going to build a console for my truck as well. I am going to use some Acura CL seats in mine, the console I am going to build has to house a 10lb nitrous bottle.

Cant complain about the money involved man.

FlatBrokeRacing · 01-02-2008, 08:13 AM

Take pics when you start your console build, I'm probably going to need a good bit of help when I start mine.
