thanks guys, the red stepside how the exhaust is, thats how im running mine as well, my truck will look similar to the red one except the front bumper wont have lights in it, it will be using the biger mirriors, im not to sure what the proper name of them are but they are the stainless steel ones with the 3 bolts that are covered under the actual mirior head, as well as the marker lights will still be there in front fenders just instead of amber lenses they will be the clear ones with amber bulbs, but thanks for the comments guys i hope to have it done this summer i hope 8)

I have seen the exhaust run out under the step with a wide flat tip(we call them camero tips around here). I think that looks pretty good.

It is similar to this.

I like the hopsters, they are a good looking wheel. I had a buddy that had a set of 17s on a mini truck and they looked awesome. I dont think you can go wrong with them.
