ANOTHER Guy With A Gen 2.5 Build - Sure, why Not? It's My First!

U mind sharing install pics? mostly interested in ballast mounting location

I'll get some pics ASAP, but one is under the radiator overflow reservoir. The other is forward of the airbox.

Looking at maybe doing a burnt orange stripe between the black and the blue. What do you think?

My vote is for the stock colors it looks nice and clean

 

[Sabre]

I won't vote; it's your truck and you do what you want. That mock-up is distinctive and sharp looking, totally transforms the Montero with an exotic look.

 

[Justice R]

MY vote: Keep it stock or the black without the orange stripe.

The lines that go along the hood and sides have potential. Not so much the one in front under the headlights/grill.
Maybe try it with some orange tape first and see how it looks.

Thanks for the input. The orange stripe would be about 1/2". Less bold than the illustration shows.

I say don't worry with paint. It's going to get marred anyway.

Tape is a easy and quick. It's not expensive and easy to remove or replace. It's OK to be different. Give it a try. Look here: http://www.stripeman.com/

Looks Great! I like the the stripes but agree with Eurosonic that maybe not continue the stripe under the grill. Maybe break in-line with the one on the hood.

Did you use spray on bed liner on the hood and sides (you may have posted it)?

Did you just spray paint the wheels or did you powder coat them?

I may be copying some of the stuff you are doing! Looking great!

Also, really liked the push car on your tumblr site!

The rockers will be bedliner. The hood will be satin black. Wheels are painted.

Where did you get side marker blinkers from? I'm talking about where the original montero logo used to be. Ive been looking and have only found clear ones, I want amber.
