What did you do to your Ram today???

Next phase of modification complete. I got all the bronze wrapped with 55% tinted gloss vinyl to bring the bronze brightness down some, and reduce the clash with the body color. I also had the RAM emblems on the doors removed and had them put black in the recessed limited lettering in the door trim.

Next up,
  1. Powder coat the tow hooks either black like the wheels or color-matched with the tinted bronze. I don't want to leave them vinyl wrapped because they will get torn up if I actually hook anything to them.
  2. Brake calipers painted to match the tinted bronze
  3. Paint the chrome portions of the grille inserts gloss black

Added a Mopar rear bed step! You don’t realize you need one until you have one, really useful.

Installed my husky mud flaps. Such a better design than the MOPAR ones. Those are in the trash; where they belong. Install on the husky flaps is simple, throw the PPF on, peel the tape off the flap, bolt in using oem fasteners and then drill a hole through the flap and wheel liner for the last bolt and clip.

Gorgeous truck. Are the wheels powder coated?
 
Side shot of the wheels?

Additionally, I have a lot of pics of my truck in various forms on this forum, so if you click on my profile and check out my posts you might find what you are looking for.

If you don't see what you are looking for, please elaborate and I can take some pics.

Thanks!

Thanks for posting, do you have pics from farther away at a couple of angles, so I can see how they look on the truck as a whole? With my spacers and larger tires, I am getting a lot of dirt splashed up on the truck (yes I know, I created the problem) but am concerned how the mudflaps will affect the ascetic of my truck. thanks!
 
I inflated my tires from 32psi to 37psi due to cold shrinkage. my Fuel efficiency is up from 12 to 15mpg unsurprisingly.

What are you looking for as far as angles? From the rear of the truck and front? I can take as many photos as you want. These flaps do seem to stick further out than the mopar ones.
