Blake over there was a pleasure to deal with and we will definitely be going back to them for a couple other vehicles in the future. Here are some quick cell phone shots since the weather was horrible today. The difference is AMAZING esp when you want the extra power. The daily drivability is unchanged except for the fact that with the new BBK up front, this thing stops on a dime. We will be having the rear calipers color matched to the red soon but other than that I think she is done for now. Huge thanks to Josh at Line-X of San Antonio and Hennessey for all the effort in getting this project done!

Here is the link to the original build thread by Josh:

Here are some quick pics. We put no badges on the outside of the truck, but they did embroider the headrest with a small "Hennessey" logo which looks a little wavy in the pic but I smoothed it out by hand afterwards.

That...is...awesome! Now you just gotta smoke out those mirror reflectors and you'll be set! What size and brand are those wheels? I love the all black look. I'm working on the same thing with my xpel stealth wrap. BadASS!

Have at you!

Thanks....Method Standard 20x9 ET18
We had Method PC the outer bolts black for us prior to shipping them to us
Tires are 35x12.50/20 Toyo MT

For the BBK to fit, Hennessey added a small spacer...12mm I think.

the windshield got cracked by a freakin rock truck. first time ive EVER cracked a windshield, and ive driven ALOT of vehicles. PISSED me off, but atleast it wasnt a customers truck.

headlights:

ive been talking to him myself. they are AWESOME!

they had to put a spacer to clear the brakes? please tell me all about this, im curious as to the materials. i used spacers on yalls 250, but i made sure they were Billet STEEL and rated at like 6K per spacer. spacers scare the crap out of me.

as for the blackout on the mirrors:
