Just showed up about 2 or 3 weeks ago. It's white with ripped graphics with a checkered flag underneath and a checkered rear window and a red tonneau cover. He's got a TALON sticker on his drivers side door and I was just wondering who it belonged to previously. Maybe........a mod list? ;) Thanks guys. :tu:

Awesome. It's in Odessa now. I saw him drive by and ran to my truck to catch up. I noticed the TALON sticker and thought I'd see what the mods were. It was dark out but things looked stock under the hood. He said it had a chip and that was it, but he wasn't too knowledgable about the mods on my truck so I figured I'd ask for him. I told him I had a 6lb lower and he asked what that did. Maybe I can help him out.

Anyone know the mods?

Sixpipes is right- stock 99/00 wheels. Grind down the face of the spokes, polish face and lip, paint the rest black and a coat of clear for protection.

I have a similar set:cool:

I can't imagine how much time that would take...so tell me
Who did them?
All a manual process or is a lathe involved?

i would think any decent wheel (repair, etc) shop could do that on a lathe.
