a quick before and after

Got the windows tinted today, going to see if I can get the bumper replaced before I head of town for the weekend.

Re: a quick before and after

Looks nice! About 2 weeks ago I scored a nice bumper from the local junkyard for $20.

Re: a quick before and after

It is amazing what tint does to the look of a truck! You have a beauty. Some of my friends would say you have that thing "murdered out".

Thumbs up

...looks killer indeed. are the 2wd k5s kinda hard to come by? i can't ever remember seeing one for sale on CL or around town. there's another really slick k5 on here that's quite the head turner. ( i can't recall who's truck it is at the mo' tho)

i think i'll keep my eyes peeled for one. they look really nice. from no leg room to more than you'd ever need. truly is the best of both worlds.

Re: a quick before and after

Now just get your front turn lenses side markers and taillight lenses tinted as well ( a few drops of black in some clear coat) along with powdercoating the bumpers and rear window crank assembly, Oh and a black powder coated phantom grille too.

Those windows rock. I love the looks of tint, but it makes night driving so not fun! Especially in a cold rain when you get all fogged up! Rock On.

Looking good, dude. When did you paint it? Last I remember it had a flat black paint job that you weren't incredibly happy with.
