What can I do to make my Mobil Detailing Truck more "FLASHY" 2000 s 10

**Reflctn Perfctn** · 07-11-2005, 03:34 PM

Hey guys, I purchased This Pewter 2000 s 10 4x4 about 6 months ago to start my Mobil Car wash and Detailing business. I was just wondering if you guys can take a look at it and tell me some tastful body modifications I can do to make it more Flashy to the customers but not too flashy because i dont want to scare away the older folks haha

So far i am thinking of doing a Dual Exhaust chrome Cat back (hehe i love how they look on mustangs

It will also make it a tad bit louder but it wont be abnoxious. I also like the look of carbon fiber euro tail lights, it really looks good with the pewter, and i am thinking of doin clear corner head lights instead of the yellow.... Please chime in guys

Oy yea the pics were taking with a bad digital camera haha so they might be alittle ehh but the rigme on the finish was...

1.Pwc with a yellow megs pad on the pc at a speed setting of 3.5 about 1 month ago.

2.Today I washed the truck with Top of the lines bubble bath

3.Did the trim with top of the lines best dresses diluted 1:1 with a tad bit more BD

4.Did the tires with Top of the lines Grape tire dressine

I am thinking of going over the finish with PwC again and topping with nattys because the Paint has been neglected for a month haha

Rear Shot the pics do the truck no justice, in person the PwC really brough out the Flake in the pewter.

IMHO, you`ve already got all you need. I wouldn`t put money toward flashy wheels or body kits. Your bed cap has a lot of potential to be a huge attention grabber. Have some professional vinyl lettering done for the glass on your cap. You could even have a colored logo printed on vinyl to put on the back or something. Just the basics: your business name, contact info, some catchy phrase if you want to go that far. Other than that, just keep your truck detailed and you`re set.

Good luck.

Thankx for the reply

Withing the next few weeks i am gettin the truck lettered on the cap`s windows and on the doors and the rear as well.

I`m not a fan of body kits, but I think the a nice set of rims can give a vehicle character.
Definatly agree with Porknbeans on the lettering on the side of the cap.

You can do awhole lot of things to that truck. DO you know that the s-series is the most popular mini truck on earth? they make all kinds of aftermarket parts. But!, since its your work truck you wouldn`t want to sink all kinds of money into it. You could try putting a pinstripe on it. Getting some nice running boards. And make it a driving billboard.

www.m-mprinting.net go there and look under vehicle graphics, you`ll see a red s10 with yellow flames on it, And you`ll see what my red blazer used to look like before i chopped it all up. you could do that to your truck.

Hey True Detailer, Yea you can do lots of stuff to my truck but the only thing that is holding me back is id rather sink the money into my mustang

haha... for instance when i was first goin to buy the truck i was like hmmmm keene bell supercharger pushing 14lbs of booste or truck hmmmm hahaha but i amde the wise decision

So far i think i am goin to get clear front amber lights, flowmaster dual cat back,a nd mabe euro tail lights, and i wnat to find soemk nice 5 spoke rims, i really like the rims on the new ss truck.

**Reflctn Perfctn** · 07-11-2005, 06:35 PM

Whoa did you have the SS rims?????

**budman3** · 07-11-2005, 07:07 PM

Hey-
Good looking truck. Some clear corners, a billet grill, possible debadge of the S-10, and the lettering will make a big difference. I think it would look better without the red marking on the cap and the leer sticker along with the chevy badges. Just some simple things will make it look a lot better.
BTW- is the drivers door repainted? Other than that the truck looks great.

**Reflctn Perfctn** · 07-11-2005, 07:20 PM

No, just under some lighting the fender seems to look different, only in pictures thou.

we actually have one of those trucks in service and what we did is that we got a found an extreme version kist and changed it over. It looks great and we stick it in all the car shows that we can get our hands on. It has bee a great promotional tool for us. Now the our Astro is next for a full make over. When we aprk in front of a new customers house. We have noticed that the first thing that they look at is our vehicle and then they look at us. I guees it is like a subliminal message saying "WE ARE GOOD AT WHAT WE DO"!!

PLEASE dont put euro carbon fiber tail lights on it. EURO lights are also know as Altezzas and its something a 16 year old poor kid would put on his mom`s honda accord.

The truck is for your detailing business. Its not a show car. Just keep it super clean and let it speak for itself and let it reflect your ability as a detailer
