do they make mods for the diesel? I have seen people with diesel trucks that are super fast.

Yes I think they do, the car is pretty damn quick especially even more so when I use the sport button. But I know you can get it chipped, so might get that done once finances allow me too

checker, i like the A panel checker board. i dont know if i want to do anything else to Tobey as it looks really "clean" right now. but i do wish i didnt live in a state that requires a front plate so i could have the stripes down the bumper. did you do the belt line? how hard is it to do?

You could still have your stripes go all the way down, just extend them and it would still look go with a plate in front, or you could get a no holes plate that screws into the tow hook opening...but it is nice to keep that hook out, I enjoy the aggressive look it adds

The belt line was easy, just time consuming...I got my tape from outmotoring...It was one of my first mods (so about 6 months now) and I have finally gotten a gash in the front piece...its only flapped so I can flip it back over to cover it, but its such a long piece I'd have to order a new kit...so I'm thinking of taking the chrome piece out and painting it instead

I agree on both parts. I have stripes and a front license plate and I did my beltline. Still waiting for my grill blackout to arrive in the mail.

i extended my stripes down the bumpers, and even with the plate looks good. i did the beltline but in red. it stands out quite a bit if you ask me, which is kind of nice. it really slaps you in the face actually hahaha...oh well. i love it. the front bumper already had holes in it so i decided to just keep the plate in the stock location but if i ever upgrade to JCW you best believe the stripes are gonna be installed on it aswell, and the plate is going in the no-holes bracket.

Howintheheck did you get all of those different images of you and your pal into one frame? Obviously Photoshopped. Layers? Whatever you did...awesome effect, and a fine job!

I understand if you don't want to reveal your trade secrets.....

^tripod.

i've done quite a few of them in my time. Set up camera, put it on a shutter delay, press button, run, pose, repeat.

Then go into photoshop or similar, create cutouts, and place them all on one picture, just be sure to line everything up right.

No you are an outcast and thus shunned by both CR/W & CR/B communities! J/k I'm sure they're out there, just don't see them as much.
Looks good with the chrome rear view covers.

You signature picture showed up.

Once you attach an image to a message, use the paper clip looking tool bar item to insert it into the message.
