    thanks seth. and thanks for the info, was nice to only spend $50 doing it, and without it the tires would have contacted the bedsides by about 1/32" lol.

    thanks. yeah i actually extended the drivers side a long time ago. the bed was just temp for wcn so i didn't do the passenger side lol. it's getting new bed skins made without the lip. here is a pic of drivers side:

    thanks, guess i should have made a flashier title for the thread lol.

    thanks. the inside will hopefully be "billet" style, but will technically be custom since i'll make it myself :lol:

    Looks great man. I think I custom built grille to go over the headlights similiar to a phantom but in 2 pieces so it stops in the middle but still follow the conture of the grille would look badass
