    got my hands on a couple of satin semi gloss plasti dip.
    I did my roof, my scoop, i did a coat on my grill for it to match, and my bumper valence.
    the stuff is real easy to work with and dries super fast, it's cheap and easy way to change the look of your car, try it out! Here's the finished results.

    And I love those headlights. Did you have to re-seal them or are they holding up?

    It will as long as you keep a distance, alternatively some people remove it using high pressure at close range.

    I am unsure how it would hold up in a drive through car wash, but I doubt OP is going to use that method with a lifted truck.

    ya it was about 10bucks a can, and i only needed 2!

    Ive only had them for a couple of days now, with the research ive done, with proper care they should hold up really well, and you can get variety of colors and brightness, i got a satin semi gloss because i didnt want a flat black.

    at a distance, i handwash everything though :D

    thanks, and i know i was using my phone haha, but in its defense it was raining a little while i took the pictures.

    he is exactly right:D
    in that case, thank you !

    I just realized something. I got questioned before for saying my own truck was cute and the guy didn't realize that I am female and gave me crap for that. I guess that changes the whole perspective of things because after he actually met me he says "No wonder...now it all makes sense..."

    *sigh*
