james has the chrome ones so thats why i chose to do black of those ones. dont think my truck could pull them off. id have to get colormatched handles, mirrors, keep the front end chrome, get stock tinted tails etc. i wanna colormatch the front end and black wheels works. its been a predicament though. if i could find a nice set of polished wheels id run them since they are summer only.

you figure for all the cost to colormatch every plastic front end, billet grille and shit it would be way more than id be able to afford. would it be nice to do so? sure, but the money will never be there to do it. gotta make it look good on what im able to afford.

Havent read past the second page, but black wheels doesnt mean black handles look good lol. All you need IMO is c/m handles and maybe mirror caps wether you have black wheels or not. The only time black handles look good, is on a black truck.

*goes back to reading wtf is going on in the rest of this thread

 

[Khaos]

Lol, a lot is going on. But I second that at least cm handles and mirror caps would be best.

 

[fortplainman]

Fuck yeah got the fog light end cap kit in

 

[Ginger]

NICE. i want to see that shit on by the end of tomorrow, then all your body issues are done. lol

 

[fortplainman]

[Ginger]

no FFR wanted very accurated dimension for tie rods and they didnt like the measurement the shop gave me. said fuck it and had them put a stock tie rod on it, was the main reason for time wasted. that and the corner caps took a while to track down. shop wasnt open today, so dropping caps off tomorrow.

 

[Ginger]

i still dont know how you have a customers car in there and not be open.

 

[fortplainman]

its not a full time gig and i guess he is rebuilding a house or something idk. im hoping to have the truck back early next week. im gona leave painting till after winter so its fresh for next year

 

[Ginger]

i dont care if he is living in a box because his house is appart. he is getting paid to fix your truck, and the longer it sits, the more of a pain it is for you, there is no reason why he couldnt have dont the tie rod and allignment yesterday and the bumper caps and fogs today

The fact you're allowing him to take advantage of you shows how stupid you are.
