I gave it another go, I really do like the 90s styling, not sure if I'd go full white on the bumpers, but went with the Frontier graphics, and I really think I may go with teal. Whenever I see a nice teal car or truck riding around it really catches my eye. Also really like that white grill they used on the Ft Worth demo. Not get too fancy but gets the general idea across.

Very nice! The white "SLATE" on the front really pops, don't remember seeing that. Oh, and on the lower door too... is that one of the special builds you can start with? Now I really need to take another look :)

One thing I love about the Slate is that it reminds me of the mini trucks of the 80s and 90s. If these make it to market I plan on doing a 90s mini truck look with mine. Has anyone else been playing around with designs for these outside of what Slate offers?

I was planning for more for of the "90's landscaper truck" vibe with my Slate. But this image will live on in my dreams.

Yeah, I just noticed that the grill logo seems to be included with the ”accent decals”.

I really like using that Slate rocker sticker to add the color on the bottom to go along with the top. That's just what I want to do with mine for that "GTA Bobcat" look
