Ok - Here we are - two more versions . . .

Just off the bottom:

And aligned with the bottom of the door:

So which one do you all like?

I am partial to the one at the bottom of the door.

I agree bottom door fo sho. i like it better there especially since my truck sits in the weeds so it wont be seen. lol

 

[ILLEGALCONCEPTS]

At the bottom of the door seems to be closer to the spacing FORD uses on the 'stangs. SO that gets my vote as well.

Honestly I just found them on e-bay, never saw them before so I got them. that was about 3 years ago so have no idea what they were called lol.

Ok so it seems the bottom of the door style wins the popularity vote - LOL

Now I have to see if Jim can do those . . .

I'll keep ya posted.

its not even that, its all getting shipped to my moms house becaus my duty station is germany and my truck is back in the states. i'll be back in the states in march so i want everything ready. but suicidedoors shipping options is down so you cant order till they fix it. ah well, found another place with the brackets i want.

P.S. i think the stripe looks better up a little higher

oh ok then, fedex for some reason didnt deliver my parts so i didnt find out until i got back from iraq, and i had to wait another 2 weeks for the stuff to show up

Project

17 years old limited budget, but hey its a start, im happy for now, soon to come are wheels and tires.

Ryan_1313, here's a recommendation for your truck. I'm sure it can look TONS better with just a few time consuming but cheap mods.

1. Paint the mirrors, windshield wiper arms, and "argent" part of your grille a matching OR contrasting color. (Gold looks good, but needs something else to make it "POP OUT")

2. Get clear corner lights. Nothing sticks out more than a sore thumb, and those things right now say you've got a king sized blister on the fingerprint.

3. Nightshade (VHT paint) the White and Orange parts of your taillights.

4. Shorten your antenna. Somehow that long chromie sticks out to me and it's attention getting in the wrong way.


I'm sure someone here can photoshop these things onto it and that will give you a good idea of what I'm talking about.

Btw, I'm jealous that you have a Texas truck. That thing probably has NO rust on the underside.

I do like the current stance aLOT!!!

I walked outside today after school.. and there was a VW bug that was higher than my stock Ranger. Instant depression. Now imagine if I lowered it!

>.<

I am starting to like the look though. I think it's grown on me.

 

[Ryan_1313]

insanejughead, thanks for the help, i've been thinking about most of the same stuff. now its more a matter of saving the money , anyway my plans for the truck consist of but is not in order of the following:

1. paint the front valance, and the grille black(for now, hopefully a billet grille soon)

2. shave the antenna completely.

3. smoke the taillights and third brake light.

4. window tint.

5. wheels and tires(probly 18's, if anyone has good ideas for wheels suggestions are appreciated)

6. headlights and clear corners plus HID lights.

but from what i read we are pretty much on the same page, which makes me feel better that i've got decent ideas.
