You truck looks outstanding. I wish I could do that if only it would stop raining.

That is one fine looking truck!

Appreciate it, really pleased that it all turned out this well. Just started with a wash and wasn't happy with how it was looking.

Looks good what did you use on the white letters and tires, they look great

Meguires Hot Shine Foam and a pretty heavy duty pad with a little steel wool woven in that helps scrub all the mud out of the lugs.

Routine maintenance weekend, 30k oil change using Motorcraft full synthetic 5W-20 and a FL-820S filter, and emptied the Moroso oil separator. Dropped the spare and gave it a good scrub front and back and adjusted the air pressure. Rotated wheels and tires and cleaned each front and back, adjusted air pressure in each. Cleaned the wheel wells, shocks and springs, brake calipers, and frame rails.

After nearly a month wait the Corsa Extreme finally arrived. This truck sounds unbelievable now. Very happy, it was worth the wait.

On a side note... Debating on installing an LED light bar in the lower grill but worried about getting a ticket for no front plate. Anyone in the northern Chicago suburbs running with no plate? Have you been hassled? I already have fairly dark window tint and don't want to give the police any other reason to pull me over.

More likely to get a ticket from the meter maid than a cop.

Got the bed, rear wheel wells, and all four fender flares LineX'ed...

It's really easy to modify your bracket so you can have the plate and the light.

Got my retrofits installed, too bad they're pointed at the ground. Going to need a little more work on them

Hmm, that is a good idea. I will have to take the bracket off and take a look at it this week. Thanks or the suggestion!

against my better judgement... I am going to ask:

What is SVRT

GMAN62465 · May 23, 2016

SVRT is a great Adams Detailing product that is available from them... they are a great site sponsor... and offer FRF DISCOUNTS to our members.

I just drilled out the rivets and rotated it 180 deg for mine to fit, bolted it back up with some stainless hardware and good to go. I tried to mount it without rotating it, didn't work out so hot.

I gave her a little spit shine. I was blown away by the Detail Spray and I finally feel like I have all the right 'tools' for the job.

Of course no car wash would be complete without a little rain a few hours later.

Thanks for thr info on the graphics. Totally stole your idea and have the vinyl sitting in the garage. Hope to get them on this weekend. I love the stealth / ghost look.
