Nice except for the exhaust outlets. Didn't like them on the Gen 3 prototype and still am not fond of them now. Square exhaust tips just don't look right.

Nice work, Ben. But you shunned the best color of all: True Blue!!

Hehe, sorry I didn't spend too much time on the colors and thus didn't bother adding flakes tothe paint to get some nice metallic colors like sonic or true blue. That's why the silver came out so bad.

I'm not a fan of the edgy exhaust tips either. I only used them in this exercise to match the slash angle where the cab meets the bed (and door edge angle) to be consistent. I think I like certain elements of the design in my sig better than this one.

The black one looks mean! Great job man. I love the four door ones as well. I think it will be my next truck since I may need something with more than two doors. This is just like the concept Ranger that SVT built with the Lightning Drivetrain. Damn thing would be so fast noone could afford insurance.

yeah no kidding that is a great looking truck. i would have the exhaust exit on the passenger side though, other than that its a work of art.
