ok. so i saw that Silver Flareside at walmart the other day and really liked how it looked. so im for sure going with silver. but its gonna be slightly different than that Flareside. the bottom is gonna be a Black stripe. and my windows will be all tinted dark black. and im gonna paint my grille inserts black and have some sort of black touches on the wheels but still the stock wheels. and then on the hood ..... its not gonna be ghost flames.............


its gonna be ghost Confederate battle Flags flying and tearing away. but once again they will be ghost air brushed on so they wont be really noticable.

so what do you guys think? 1 single ghost flag or 2? cowl hood or no cowl hood?

want some opinions.

this is what im basing my design off of....

black and silver is a good combo. I still say no to graphics. undecided on cowl hood.

I know you probably will disregard my opinion, but I've said it before and I'll say it again... I think the whole confederate flag thing is kinda lame.

I prefer the less is more "clean" look.
yeah i understand that. the ghost flag wont be real noticable. and i want my truck to stand out somewhat but not with bright colors.

black and silver is a good combo. I still say no to graphics. undecided on cowl hood.
yeah i love the silver and black combo. and the Flage will be ghost airbrushed on. just barely noticable.

yeah. i somewhat understand your thought. its just a personal thing. i wanna in some way incorperate it cause it is my heritage. and i like subtle stuff. the flag is only gonna be airbrushed in. similar to ghost flames but it will be a "ghost flag"

Just keep in mind that it will affect the resale value a LOT by adding that confed flag. It'll also make it harder to find a buyer cuz you'll have to find someone who wants a truck with that painted on it.

What about a charcoal stripe, rather than black?

I like the dark metallic gray that is on my truck. with a silver that would look tit!

I say DMG on the running board area and just the cowl on the new hood! Now that would be AWESOME! LOL

about the flag what about a headliner done in a flag, that way you have it in the truck but can be easily removed if you decide to sell it...

i never plan on selling it. but i plan on having the headliner done in the flag to begin with to hold me over till i get the truck painted.

LOL I am in the same boat! But that is because I have more in the motor and BS on the truck than the truck is worth. LOL spend 12K on a truck and put 40K in it....I think my head is broke!

Im in the same boat, cant get rid of anything, if I do its a loss lol. This is what I think, do what you want caus its your truck, people told me no on the decals(SKAN) and by GOD they look awesome. You see it in your head how you like it, and do it that way, caus you will never be happy with it unless you do it your way.
