    Tint, N-Fab Step bars,
    That truck is shinier than brand new. Will definitely try that method. Are your surround and bulge painted, or are they stock?

    It is definitely shinier than the day I bought it!
    The grill and bulge are factory parts I ordered to replace the chrome

    400 mi. before a good detail, and you're upset?
    Shoot I've run over 6k miles and still haven't given her a proper detail and wax job just weekly baths.
    Congrats on your new ride.

    It does look pretty nice. Most don’t hold up though. You’ll have to update us.
