Truck - Part III (Work in Progress)

RE: Truck - Part III (Work in Progress)
Thank you! Believe it or not, I spent about a week thinking about where the best place was to put it. The H3's field of view is small enough without a GPS getting in the way.
I bought an external TomTom GPS Antenna (same as XM/Sirius), stuck it on the roof, and use the GPS as a speedometer as well as it being in perfect reach and out of site. I hardwired it into the ignition so it powers on and off automatically. With the antenna, it picks up full signal from all available satellites even in the worst of weather. It works very well.

I just think having a big piece of plastic on the hood that serves no purpose other then to make it look more like a H1 and H2 is dumb. At least the chrome one makes it unique.
I decided I'm going to take it back off and paint it a high-gloss black or complete opposite, a gun metal flat black. I thought I'd try something different (again) but don't like the way it looks like that. Since there are few layers of paint and clearcoat already on it, it should have a nice smooth finish compared to the rough surface it has originally, so it will look a tad different the stock.
I do like how the wheels look with no hub caps though. They look more ruggid and not too bad after painting the hubs to match, but I kinda have another idea for those as well.
I should be done soon. There may be hope for me yet (but not much)
