Re: Project: Shiro
Do it.
I think it would look great. Lower trim only.

Re: Project: Shiro
I agree, the lower trim only. Hives it a nice clean finish.

Re: Project: Shiro
I think that is a fantastic idea! Not sure exactly about the kit from Mar-K but I love the lower trim on these trucks. Maybe try to find some nice OEM trim. Any idea on wheels yet (don't think I've missed that)?
This is going to be one nice truck! Love the father/son aspect.

That looks like the wood grain accent... I'm thinking the Black would look good on this truck. Thanks anyway!

[QUOTE=Bucks68;6443166]We started out thinking Mag Gs, but we may go to the Vintec...
Love the Mag Gs but the Vintecs are just classic! Excellent choice either way. ![]()

Re: Project: Shiro
This truck is running the same variation of the kits you will be installing on "Shiro".
(We had not yet adjusted the front coil overs in these pics, and it needed to come up about a 1/2" from what is pictured).

Re: Project: Shiro
I agree with lolife99. Lower trim only in black will look really nice and definitely break up all the white.
Mag G's IMO. ![]()

Re: Project: Shiro
I've got the lower trim in black on my Medium Blue 71... I like it. I think it would look good on a white truck. And Vintecs would be my ideal wheel, I love the look they give these trucks. Sounds like your boy has good taste. We all know you have good taste... We've seen your work. Looking forward to this one!

Re: Project: Shiro
Happy new year to you too man.
Hey,.. just saying if you'd like to see the truck on either wheel and trim added I can Photoshop for you. Just to see different combinations.

Truck is a heck of a truck to start with and when you are done with it it is going to be ridiculous...

Re: Project: Shiro
Vintecs are always a great choice, just ask your son if he feels like polishing wheels that much though
