Thats nice man. I like the dump set up. How does it sound on the inside? Does it get really loud and drone alot like most dumps. I wouldn't think it would because of the direction you have them aimed.

Looks good man , sometimes you just gotta get rid of ugly *** exh. tips (never seen yours before I'm just sayin) The Berger looks pretty good though , its dying for some rear letters. I would have went with bumper black for the panel if it was mine .... but like I said yours looks good.

It looks a little plain back there. Some fill-ins or maybe some retro emblems. Something to give it a little visual interest.

No, don't. Flat black looks more like it was gloss and now its faded, IMO.

Def. some stainless inserts. That would look really good, I dont know about the retro badges though. I just dont like retro badges on a 4th gen.
