I'm guessing he gets the vinyl overlay for $$$ on the interwebs. I am curious where form on the interwebs as someday I plan on sprucing mine up and his turned out well!

The 9" oval takes a 8"x3" vinyl decal. They are all over ebay. I got 2 for $3.75 shipped. Paint your color of choice, wet apply the decal, let the little bubbles work themselves out or use low heat then clear. My current tailgate oval is done using this process. I have some custom domed gel overlays coming from Devries so this one may not make it on the truck......I am stoked about the Devries overlays I ordered.

Put some fresh Mobile 1 5w20 in it and a new MC FL820S. It's amazing how much quieter this engine is with fresh oil. And I do 5-6k mile oil change intervals. While I was at it I topped off the brake fluid and washer fluid.

Thinking about doing all new brake fluid to see if it will take some of the spongy feel out of the brakes.

It definitely helps a good bit. I flushed most of mine through using a cheap Harbor Freight brake bleeder. Just start at 1 wheel, crack open the bleeder and let it suck out a ton of fluid while adding more. Then just work your way around all 4 wheels.
