[QUOTE="silveradokid, post: 7422573, member: 631230"] Thanks fighter, like he said either way I took it off, I didn't just take it off to put the amp rack on either, I took it off to change the fuel pump and paint the frame as well. And here are the recent cosmetic upgrades I did. This is the before picture. [IMG]http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee460/silveradoman1/IMG_0709.jpg[/IMG] And here is after:) [IMG]http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee460/silveradoman1/IMG_0744.jpg[/IMG] Can you see what's different? Now since clear coat on the top of the bed rails is coming off I thought I'd give some spray on bed liner a shot, so I sanded it down and put this on, I think it turned out pretty nice, and looks good too. [IMG]http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee460/silveradoman1/IMG_0746.jpg[/IMG] And I'm not sure if you can see this or not but I painted inside the fender wells because they were looking a bit drab [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fro.gif.c695f1f814b01c4ad99fe7f8cccadd29.gif[/IMG], so I painted them and it made a big difference in the way the truck looks from the side. [IMG]http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee460/silveradoman1/IMG_0747.jpg[/IMG] I didn't think that just some simple things would make it look a whole lot better. I'm very pleased with how it looks, once I'm done painting the rest of the frame and touching up some of the spots that need sanding and painting (ie. the hood, roof, and top of the doors) I think it will look very nice, at least in my opinion it will look like a clean cut truck.
