We have a new candidate for a project truck and this one is owned by a chick. She's given us full reign over the project so what should we do?

It's a '04 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab Long Bed 4x4, 3.3L V-6 with s 5-speed.
I was thinking a Fantastic Four with a Calmini 3-inch lift, 20-inch ICCE chrome wheels, 33-inch Nitto Dune Grapplers, Volant intake, and Doug Thorley exhaust. Where I'm torn is paint.....what should we do to the all-white body?
Please post your ideas. This is a real opportunity for a truck to be built the way YOU think it should be done. Make a difference!

1. Whatever we do to it, we need to get her to jump the thing when it's done!

2. Leave the body white! No flames. No loud graphics. Color match the mirrors and handles or maybe even get billet pieces instead. Maybe we can ditch the rack on the top too? Less is more.

3. I was thinking a two-tone with the top being a bright blue or a deep red. This would help out the chrome wheels on the white and make it stand out more. Funny New Guy, you're wanting to make this truck look like your pile of an S-10.

4. Yeah, can't help but picture a clean, uncluttered white truck! A two tone, with the top being a different color is a safe bet, not feelin' the red but maybe an understated gray tone would look cool...

5. New Guy,
Your ideas are like your truck, unoriginal.....
"an understated gray tone" and white would like worse than all white.
Gimminy Christmas, where did you come from?

6. No need to get personal here tough guy!! You asked for some charity responses to your blog and now you're knocking what I'm giving you? LAME!

7. Correction, I need/want good suggestions and ideas, that will make the truck look better.
Nothing personal here, pull your big girl panties up and think outside of your box.

8. I think you should paint it flat desert tan. I've seen a really cool Ranger like that.

9. Hey New Guy... What is up with your DULL color choices. How did you go from flat desert tan to gray? New Guy is not allowed to make any more suggestions. Go with the deep red Dan!

10. I think a flat pink might look good too.

NTimC - Posted July 30 2008 04:26 PM

11. hollstein... ur a knucklehead, I never said grey.

NTimC - Posted July 30 2008 04:29 PM

12. Read the post b4 talking crap. Get it straight.... I would never recommend a gray paint job.. Way too boring

NTimC - Posted July 30 2008 04:45 PM

13. Hey NTimC... Tan isn't too boring? I do like your pink idea. But I am sticking with the red.

mhollstein - Posted July 31 2008 01:16 PM

14. I like the two-tone light blue and white idea. That's girlie. What would be cool IMO is to have the wheels powder-coated the same colour as the lower colour...

Flat pink might be cool too.
