Debate on which mods to do next...
Ok, here's my debate: Mod money is tight lately since I'm working on some other stuff as well that absorbs a lot of our extra money (house projects that I want done.) So, with the little mod money I have right now I'm trying to decide whether I want to do one more expensive mod or a bunch of smaller mods.
Here's a rendering of what I have planned for the exterior of the truck: That pic has: drop (done) painted wheels dark tint (done yesterday ) de-badged (spring) changing the flat black b-pillars to gloss black (spring) custom badges tinting puddle lights tinting fogs (done) and some stuff you can't see like powdercoating the tips and tinting the tails. Here's the two choices: 1. Custom front and rear badges for the truck. I hate the huge, 3D-ish badges on these trucks but shaving them completely is out of the question right now. A member from another site had these done: Mine would be a little different as the background would be color matched to my truck, they would say "Dodge" in black, and then have the two red hash marks as well. They guy who did his wants $120 which seems kind of steep, even though they are custom and large...they are just stickers. There's a local shop here that said they can do them (in an email) but I have to come in to discuss everything and I haven't found time to drop by...they may be cheaper. I would think $60-$80 would be about right. My other choice is to do a bunch of smaller mods to help complete the overall look I want for the exterior of the truck. These would include having the tips powdercoated satin black, plasti-dipping the wheels, possibly tinting the tails, and adding some very light and subtle R/T style hood/fender stripes. I know a lot of people will say to go with the second option since it gets a lot more done, but I figure those can be done a little at a time while doing the first option would take saving or waiting until mod money is free flowing again. I really don't think I'll pay $120 for stickers, but if the shop near me is cheaper, it will still eat up the majority of what I have in hand. So, with all that, what would you do?
