Newbie Build in motion

[Clew150]

Hey guys. Been lurking for a few weeks. Finally done some things to my first truck.

After market Raptor type grille without the letters (more clean look in my opinion)

Haven't seen anyone else with bumpershellz on '21, here they are.

Wheels and Suspension to come. Enjoy!

White walls? What lead you down that road?

Thats how it came....Nothing about the wheels will be remaining long term. Bought some tire paint. Going to give that a try.

The grill looks great, good luck with the rest of your moods

The Lord won't let me get rid of the whitewalls. Did a double coat of ranger tire paint, let it sit for 36 hours and it couldn't even last a 120 mile drive. Guess I will just eat the $80 to flip the tires around and remount

That is one hell of a "unique" truck!

You're certainly NEVER going to park next to one just like it...

And I don't mean that in a derogatory way! NOT AT ALL!

Nice truck...

Thanks that's mainly what I'm going for. It's a conglomerate of styles. This is my first build of any kind. Definitely a learning process. Probably going to paint the top and bottom of the grille to give it more of a gen14 look

I've been looking at the Bumpershellz but was curious how they look and fit. What are your opinions on the gaps/seams on the front bumper and the look of the parking sensors after installing the painted covers? Do you have any close-up pictures?

honestly, I wouldnt recommend it....It looks ok and I"m glad the color matches. The seams are quite noticeable on gen14....Their website has zero videos of application to a gen14....Gen13 have the perfect bumper for shellz, that natural seam on both sides makes it look really good and seamless.

The middle piece is EXTREMELY difficult to get up under the rubber trim ( I wasnt able to full do it) and you will need another person to make sure its centered.

But the back bumper looks great and I would recommend that.....Someone better with cars than me can definitely make it look better than mine....But if you are very particular, I would say paint it instead.

Take the truck into the tire shop. have the tires turned around white walls inside. Nice truck other than the white walls.

Ya. thought I could paint them.....It looked really good before I drove on them haha. Just moved so the truck is on the back burner for a minute.
