Sounds cool, thanks for replying! Adding a quote is neat, it seems like a nice way to express yourself through your truck! I would've guessed that sometimes company policies can get in the way, but that's nice that at least some of them are flexible about what you can do with customization.
And man I must be out of the loop, I've never heard it called a Bambi basher! That's hilarious but I almost feel a little bad for laughing, haha

For most company drivers (those of us employed purely to drive. No ownership of the truck at all), we aren’t allowed to make any exterior changes most of the time. I reckon beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but there’s enough people with bad or ‘gaudy’ taste, that it would just make the fleet look unprofessional. Usually companies are okay with a couple small stickers, CB radio setups, etc., but they don’t want a fleet of all white trucks to suddenly have one with hot pink racing stripes down the center lol.

Much of what you notice (visors, lights, bumpers ect) are done by guys after delivery of the truck. Probably the biggest amount of customization is what you don’t see right away. What engine, transmission, rear ends, frame, fuel tanks and their placement, a whole ton of different things. That is what makes trucks that may look alike actually be very different.

I’d personalize it lug nut covers window chops mud flap hangers with lights

Check with your boss before you "customize" your truck. If it doesn't involve drilling holes, tapping in to existing wiring, or graphics that have to be removed with a propane torch he'll probably go for it.

I got myself an all weather floor mat from Walmart. Hoping to afford a second one when fuel goes back down.
Custom knows no boundaries with my wicked ride.
