    I'm surprised that you say you have an aftermarket fender. With as few of these that they made, I'm shocked the aftermarket would even have one available.

    I think your idea of having to back up from it and take pictures to make it look better is a strange concept. Sure it looks better further away, if you back up another half mile or so, it may even look better. Not at all what I want for my truck, but if you're happy, that's really all that matters. The interior of your truck threw me off as well. Are all the wires everywhere just mid-project, or do you like the rat's nest look for the dash? I know you boast that you do the projects others just think about, but maybe they didn't do the project because they thought it through and decided it wouldn't look good. I'm sure there's stuff on my truck that members would find fugly as well, but I think you may be setting a new record. That's just my 2¢.

    As I mentioned, the wires were mid project. I am electrician by trade, so my electrical work is typically top notch. As for the backing up, I meant that it would seeing the overall picture vs. the in your face shot.

    The fender is definitely not OEM. It is much thinner, the passenger side has a thunk, the drivers is more of a tink. I don't know that repainting could make that much of a sound difference.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
