Pics make it look a lil cleaner than it actually is Colyn, thats why he says this, but, for its milage, age, and young driver, its still clean for sure...
 
Do you plan on raising you rear seats to run those subs?

My sundown is 4.75" and without raising the seat it really doesn't work...I need another 1" minimum so I can have it in there comfortable, maybe 2".

Truck only has 3 small tiny dents all on pass side, and only other spots is a place where paint is coming off on hood and something scratched around rear pass side fender well... but it will get repainted one day and fix all the small stuff then. But for now to get everything else done..

Do you plan on raising you rear seats to run those subs?

If I have to yes, will just make the seat mount flush on top of box and secure it some way.. I had 12's they defenitly wouldn't fit then got 10's and they're still alittle too big so now time for 8's when I decide to get audio done.. its getting time my Sony components are starting to go this next time around ill go with fosgate or someone a lot better..

Just warning ya, I went that route, and my 10 is smaller, and fuck it. I am selling it and going slim line, I've seen the raised seats with blocks, and it looks ultra trashy as fuck.
 
I know what your truck looks like in person colyn, you also know we are the same way with being frustrated with small imperfections haha
 
If you can find a better way I am all ears too! I've heard people say use washers, but you will still be lifted, and put more stress on those bolts, just seems unsafe as shit!
 
lemme get them tails colyn

If you have some 05+ silvy tails you can have them and ill even bring them to your house lol.

I never planned on doing that even in my mind it sounds trashy.

Exactly thats what I was saying those few little things drive me nuts when on most other trucks that wouldn't be noticable consider the huge dents and scratches..


Fuck, why wouldnt you at least carpet them so it at least blends in some. Thats way overboard

After christmas my trucks gonna need that paint work we talked about you gonna be ready?

Dannngggg, I can barely remember when you weren't low and just starting to colormatch and shit. Your truck just looks so natural low, I forgot that it ever wasn't lol
