Painted Exhaust & New Wheels/Tires
I painted the whole exhaust system from the headers all the way back black, looks nice with the Glasspacks still red. I also found some 15" Aluminum American Racing Rims w/ 35" Tires for $200 on Craigslist. I painted the Rear Bumper gloss black aswell. Ill try an get some new pics up soon of all the progress.

Little Update
Its been awhile since Ive updated.
Ive got a new Tailgate thats solid for $50, and the bed is on the truck with all new fasteners, and its in primer. Also, the new exhaust is on, 2 Flowtech Red Hot Glasspacks. I took the old mufflers off, fastened the new Glasspacks on, and hung new exhaust piping a little further than before. Loud as hell! Next is to paint the whole exhaust Gloss Black with heat paint and get these Rockers/Cab Corners replaced.
