Anyone Add Side Stripes Or Vinyl Graphics To Their Truck?

[Mike_in_Ontario]

New member here. Just got myself a brand new ext long box 5.3L a couple weeks ago, love the truck, but to break-up the side was thinking about adding some custom graphics or stripes...

 

 

was thinking of the old GS race car style hash marks, same dark grey color as the 4x4 sticker?

 

 

wider?

 

 

Any thoughts?

 

Cheers,

Mike

No. Look closely, it's a truck not a rice car.

the slash marks are not too bad. i sorta like them. I have custom pin stripes.

I would probably run them in the opposite direction, start at the bottom at the front of the bed, and end at the top, over the wheel. I think it may look pretty good.

do a pinstripe if you must, but the dual stripes down the side are wayy too much

My last truck... Vinyl Hockey Stick stripes.

On a short sporty truck like the one above, stripes are OK, but on your truck, I wouldnt do it. It would look kinda sad and depressing, like those guys that put 20s and clear or smoked tailights on a beat up old work truck. It just makes it look tacky. I think your truck looks nice as is. Just throw some lift parts at it and make it look HD tough.

perhaps get another piece of the body colored molding that fits the ext cab door and put it on the bed? That along with a subtle pin stripe would help to break up the sheet metal

Toolbox + matching side steps that extend past the cab area (?). Definitely *no* to the racing stripes...

............That would be FUGLY. Sorry but I think that would be a mistake. Would look terrible and out of place. Why ruin a brand new truck?
