New guy here, be gentle

Hey all, pretty new to customzing vehicles, although I have always done some cheapo mods(interior lighting, audio, debadging)

Here is my 04 Chevy Colorado Crew Cab. 5 cylinder Vortec engine.

Current mods so far(just started this summer)
Pioneer head unit(doing speakers in fall)
Painted interior trim
Debadged the tailgate(still gotta do the doors)
Flipped third brake light
Clear corner DRLs(doing the headlights in spring)

Pics:

Pretty much how I got her, had the tint and bug/wind shields and tonneau on it already


How she looks now:









INTERIOR
Head unit with PSP mount


Painted interior


Updated paint, I will be adding switches to the right side


I want to add rims and tires, but I am married, own a house, have a child, and working on #2. I don't mind the stocks, but they are starting to get beat.

Not as fancy as some of you guys, but I'm working on it. I will be adding some Oz lights soon enough.

Sweet ride. The front end of these trucks looks so sexy.

And by the way, Welcome to Oznium.

welcome to oz

the painted interior kinda kills it for me. yeah get some bigger wheels in general, fill the wells. otherwise looks great.

Welcome dude. Truck looks good. Wheels and a drop will make the biggest impact on the overall look of the vehicle, so put those on your to do list.

Rawr! *bights* Ruff ruff!!!!!!!!! *throws kangaroo*


Now that I got that out of the way. Nice truck homie.


Wecome to the OZ!!!!

You have good pictures. You're okay in my book.

I don't plan on dropping it, I live in New England, and the roads here are swiss cheese. Bigger tires are a possibility to fill in the wells

Looks good dude. Don't be upset that your family/house are holding you back; having those are more of an accomplishment than many of us here have!

Looks good. Enjoy your stay.

welcome to the big OZ

Welcome to OZ. I am a ford guy but that does look pretty good.

Nice truck, Thats a great deck, for the level anyways. My girlfriend has that in her Grand Am, Except her's is the Premier version. Anywho, Welcome to OZ.

Hey. Dude. I have a dog. Come on now, gimme some credit here.


And welcome to Oz! I'm a new guy, too. I dunno how long you have to be a member here until you lose the "new guy" status, but it's fun from Day 1.

Welcome welcome. Nice truck

When you say "flipped third brake light," did you just remount it upside down or something?

yup. For some reason on the Colorados, the third brake light didn't flow with the rear window angles, it was opposite. So many of us(owners) flip it over so the lights angles match the rear window. The only thing it really effects is the "bed lights" which don't to much with a tonneau cover anyway...lol

Nice truck and great pics too. Welcome

Welcome to Oz, It's a truck so I like it automaticly

Hey boys,

Not all boys, but ill live. Very nice truck, and welcome.

Badass truck, I like it!

Throw some kind of black rims on that thing, and it would look x2 better. Love it though.

Clean looking truck.

black rims, and a different bed cover, tint the front (driver and passenger) windows and youll be set.

But other than that, i still like it. Was going to buy one before I bought my s10

Yeah, I knew there would be at least one girl here. My apologies and I will change my thread.

I plan on doing some black rims, and tinting the front windows come spring

^That will make it x300 better. I still gotta tint my windows me thinks

How's it run with a 5 cylinder in it?

runs really well actually. The first day I got it, I was cruising on the highway to work and next thing I knew, I was pushing 100

Felt like I was standing still. It's a truck, so the ride isn't always the smoothest, but I do 90% of highway driving every week. Get around 20-23 MPG. Only fill up once a week(6 days the worse)

Gets enough pickup if I slam it, but could use a TAD more OOMPH!

That's pretty sweet. Any plans on lowering it?

not lowering it. I bought a truck to have a truck. I am aware that as a "sports truck" owner, I am leaglly bound to lowering...lol. If I wanted to drive a car, I would have bought one. I like the little bit of height and clearance. Bigger rims should fill some of the space and give it a lowered appearance.

I really like that truck! Welcome to Oz. I'm gonna have to say rims also...

^ likes it cause he's a Texan too
