And i met a guy last night that is real good friends with a good friend of mine and he owns a performance shop in Alabama somewhere and says if i want to get into the power side of it let him know and he'll get a killer deal on a cam setup and nitrous, so maybe in the next 2 years ill be addin a cam and nitrous to her, gotta get it paid for a little more first......

Tails are in, FINALLY! lol, thanks SilveradoLQ9, great work, i love em!

I also washed the truck with one of them auto dry car wash things, i love that thing and am buyin one tomorrow. Also used a spray detailer that a buddy of mines dad had called BOM, sh!t is awesome! Took it from black to BLACK, mirror like finish. He buys it at bike shows and its about 30 bucks for a 20oz bottle, worth every penny IMO. He had some other stuff for his bike that was even better than this stuff but it was a 16oz bottle that cost about 40 plus shippin, still worth it. I'll get some pics at the beach tomorrow and post em up when I get back.

Next mods are: towin mirrors, HIDs, cleared and painted headlights and tinted corners..............

Buy a bottle of that and you will be in love. We use that all the time on our details. Its one of the best non abrasive polishes I've ever used. Truck looks good!
