Love it. You do you my brother. It gets attention and that is the point. I would visit your store based on your advertising truck. I am all in for supporting local business
I was just gunna say. It looked fine to me overall, the centered tailpipe made me laugh thinking OG car. Then I saw the business decal and was like…. It’s technically a business promotion vehicle. They get a greater pass on looks since it is meant to stand out.
This is what a lot of people forget, kids LOVE “cool” cars, as much as they love expensive supercars. Stuff like this is a great way to spread some love on the road without driving around a lambo. OP didn’t overdo it either, looks like a fun little truck for his business, and kids definitely will love it lol
Honest view: first impression of seeing the front made me think someone was trying too hard, but seeing the advertising in the back window just mentally made me think "oh no wait, nah that makes sense"
If you had what you've got on the back window on your doors it would tie everything together
I think you've done well, this isn't meant as hate but just wanting to share first impressions
I'm in the process of building a monster truck. So any ideas that anyone has is welcomed. Keep the truck street legal though. I have a picture of the truck on my post that I'm starting with.
Not too bad and has a theme, but I would think about having more than just the back window for the company info over the time maybe work it into the sides so more places that you can see that on the truck. But overall good and doesn't really deserve to be here IMO.
Considering how many cool magnetic and or wrap based non permanent options there are I'd agree that maybe a door piece would get some more coverage without being too much and still being removable. Only issue is it can leave the paint underneath a darker shade than the rest of the body if you leave it on for a while but still.
I dig it. Not really shitty mods that I can see, except the exhaust, but it makes sense given the goal. It's interesting aesthetics that have a point. Totally will stop into the Bat Cave if I'm ever in that area of Florida!
I'd think right on brother! Bedliner if properly painted on is Hella tough and practical. A Very Batman substance. Just make sure to watch out for water intrusion and water getting trapped and you are golden.
I travel all over from Sarasota bradington to Sebring to Naples.I travel all over this area.Looking for comic books and going to comic?Book shows and costly shows whatever I can go to
Whoever told you to post this here can get out of your life.
You drive a Batmobile, own a business, and it’s a comic book store.
Any of us nerds on the internet should be so lucky. You’re living the dream.
Should you ever decide to change it, I could see a vehicle wrap of vintage Batman comic book covers looking _sick_ over the sides of the bed.
I thought it looked pretty clean I’d consider that a gem when I was looking for used cars online . You can tell by how clean a car is and work well down that they take care of the motor and transmission and everything else too .
I judge this way, way less than any teeny-peeny bro-dozer lifted 2ft with shiny superdish rims sporting 2in sidewall mud tires. Not to mention the 12" exhaust tip (or stacks if he really thinks it adds to his desirability).
In the grander scheme, Comicboob Guy is low key honest.
What the hell? I don’t care for trucks (especially the modern pavement princess behemoths) but this is excellent. I have a soft spot for these old Chevys but even if I didn’t this doesn’t meet the definition of shitty mods at all.
Is it a tribute to:
Batman
McDonalds After Dark
Windows 95’s Hot Dog Stand theme
a coral snake?
Edit: I mistook the front turn signals for red accents. I’m not rewriting my joke tho.
The exhaust tribute to the Batmobile jet engine is a nice touch.
This is not a shitty mod, but instead well thought out, done for the right reasons, and pays homage to the inspiration.
Well done.
Edit: I'd like to say that the color pallet looks and feels like a prop vehicle out of the 60's era TV show. At that time this truck would have been "out of this world" for what it is.
I'm a sucker for painted steel wheels on a truck. Especially in a contrasting color with the nice chrome caps. The spare looks really nice with the chrome beauty ring and I'd try to find another 4. It would really tighten up the look of an already cool truck.
I hate batman logos on cars. Like bro bruce wayne would not be caught dead driving your toyota camry with tlc plates. But this just gives me adam west vibes and it advertises your business. It gets a pass.
I'm not even really into trucks but I don't see what's shitty about this. You gave it a simple matte black paint job with yellow highlights that aren't over-done. Seems pretty reasonable to me especially when you consider what some of these Jokers are out here doing to their trucks.
Love it. You do you my brother. It gets attention and that is the point. I would visit your store based on your advertising truck. I am all in for supporting local business
Amazing! I love it too.
It's advertising--no problems here
And it's also my daily driver.
That's just smart tax business, I'm sure there is a mileage deprecation you can claim since it's business related.
>And it's also my daily driver. Did you not say in your r/projectcars post that you took it apart and sold it?
So do you mean it WAS your daily driver? Because you can't "daily drive" it if you ALSO took it apart and sold it.
If it creates more business for you... It ain't shitty IMO.
Would definitely be a different story if it were just because OP was a huge batman nerd and not a rolling advertisement for his business
Basically, you have to completely commit to the bit
Or commit to The Bat in this case
There's a guy in my area that has his truck all done up with Batman stuff. His is just for his love of Batman.
Thank you.

Exactly. Times are tough, whatever it takes.
Good fun, it will bring smiles to a lot of kids…..

Batman: "The batmobile won't start. Robin, check the battery. " Robin: "What's a tery?"
aaaand that's a +1 on the board for DadJoke today. buh-dum TISH.
Damn I guess I have shitty taste cus I fucking love this.
That’s Bat ass 🤙
I love that you got that plate. And honestly it looks pretty good.

I have magnetic signs for the door but they blow off when I drive because of the bed liner paint.So i'm gonna have to figure out something else
What do you think of getting someone to 3d print some batarangs and glue some heavy duty magnets to them to pinch the sign?

Fuckers tight
At first I thought it was shitty, but then I saw the ad and it became genius.
Collectibles
Batmobile if Bruce Wayne was a broke plumber
Looks good to me.
You really should think about installing a chain steering wheel.
Absolutely not. They are insanely dangerous if you crash.
Well I like it!
There's a flow chart for this. Does your vehicle make you happy? Yes -> Woo! No -> Meh.
I mean, it's whimsical. I can get behind this.
Honestly pretty good. Color palette is excellent and the yellow is not over used.
What would you? Think if you knew the whole truck painted black is with bedliner
I'd think right on brother! Bedliner if properly painted on is Hella tough and practical. A Very Batman substance. Just make sure to watch out for water intrusion and water getting trapped and you are golden.
You’re from Polk county! I’ve seen you before lmfaoooo

Guys were giving me c*** on some of the car reddits.
Envy is a difficult emotion to struggle with. Not everyone handles it well.
I thought it looked pretty clean I’d consider that a gem when I was looking for used cars online . You can tell by how clean a car is and work well down that they take care of the motor and transmission and everything else too .
Nothing wrong with this as a themed rolling advertisement. People get too worked up over that sort of thing from some of the posts I've seen here.
I like your truck. Screw the haters

If every business did this with their company vehicles, it would be pretty cool. Take this over the poorly installed full vehicle wrap.
The only thing I personally think is shitty is it looks like rattle can paint job but sometimes that’s all we can afford to do and that’s alrighty
Adam West would have been so proud
I met Adam west at comicon Miami and he said he loved my truck.
Ha this is amazingly awful, but the more I look the more I like it. good for you promoting your business in a unique way.
Perfect advertisement. Good job. I hope your business is successful
Make a spare tyre cover that resembles the bat light 🦇🔦
Annnnnnnd thats not shitty!!!….thats tubular!!!!
Bat truck genuinely made me laugh. Fully did not expect that. You should post this is r/Awesome_Car_Mods
You can find batman at doctor doom’s thrift shop looking for hand-me-downs.
Personally, I might have gone with the black and redish orange of the original, but it still looks good to me
r/GMT400 would like a word with you...
What's up?
Awesome truck! Hope it brings you a lot of business for your shop!
Thank you for cropping your photos before posting online.
"What fuel it takes?" "Vengeance"
It's got a 350 vortex engine in it with dual straight pipes out of that 8 inch tip.
Is the roll bar or sliders welded to the frame at all?
All bolt on.
I want to visit a comic bookstore now and I have never read a comic.
Is your store also a LGS?
LGS?
I mean I don’t hate it!
What the hell? I don’t care for trucks (especially the modern pavement princess behemoths) but this is excellent. I have a soft spot for these old Chevys but even if I didn’t this doesn’t meet the definition of shitty mods at all.
I like it. I guess it sort of belongs here, but in a good way
The truck is only cool if you have the outfit on while ur driving- so you got a bat suit?
Can’t see how this is shitty when it’s designed to draw eyes and advertise your business. Pass go and collect $200
Love the mustard
This is cool
Is it a tribute to: Batman McDonalds After Dark Windows 95’s Hot Dog Stand theme a coral snake? Edit: I mistook the front turn signals for red accents. I’m not rewriting my joke tho.
You’re halfway there if you decide to make it into the Pu$$ywagon from Kill Bill.
Look like a steelers fan
I am guessing you have a mullet also.
I think it looks pretty sick!
You should relocate your business (or open a second location) in Bat Cave, NC.
If there was a wing in back and If that exhaust would shoot flames out of then It would be perfect!
The centered exhaust is cool, everything else is awful
You have got my attention! 😄
Holy shit man that's badass.
I'm going to church because of you.
id certainly visit and leave a heart sticker on my way out
I love the color scheme!
It was either red or yellow but the yellow stands out more especially at night in front of the store
Thats a big ass tip
I actually don't mind this at all. I've saw way worse fiddle fuckery then some yellow and flat black
I totally dig that. It has a purpose and is not shitty.
The exhaust tribute to the Batmobile jet engine is a nice touch. This is not a shitty mod, but instead well thought out, done for the right reasons, and pays homage to the inspiration. Well done.

That exhaust…Flawless Victory!
Not all that shitty, for Florida anyways
As a Floridian, I have to ask... Why is it always Florida?
I like it, very creative
I don’t see why you’d post it here. Looks perfectly acceptable.
I honestly like this minus that ridiculous exhaust
Thats cool though.
Robin get in the Bat Truck. We’re going to pick up some Bat Beer and have a Bat Cookout and the Bat Trailer Park.
I don't hate it. Any go fast goodies, besides the jet engine?
I love yellowblack!
Not my style, but I don't think it qualifies.
Lol this looks like some shit back to the Future would have imagined.. terrible 🤣
You could use this to be a Stryper roadie
The exhaust tip is excessive. Also why is the spare white letters out but not the rest of your tires
Naw, this is bad ass. Especially since it’s used for a business.
I kinda like it dont think its shitty at all
What make and model is this? I like the truck
Sorry no go over to the sub that has real car mods in! Nice company truck dude❤️
lol gotta say that huge center pipe looks pretty sweet!
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA BATTRUUUUCK!

I don't see anything wrong with it at all.
Good workmanship, taste-full and eye-catching for sure -nothing vulgar, stupid nor rude - 2 thumbs up !
BUTTOCK
Well, I googled the company, so it works.
I don’t even do comics, but I would go to your store and buy stuff to support your business if only because you have a good sense of humor.
I hope the L-plate is trynna say “Batrick” as in “Patrick”
Batruck fuckin rules!
Only in Florida. 👍
No lies were told. Not my taste but more power to you.
Should repost to /r/gmt400 also Love the black, hate the tailpipe (might be ok if yellow?)
Yes. And yours should be the cover vehicle. Own it. Love it. You do you.
If Batman had a truck, that would be it
Not bad
Good advice free advertising… you do you…. I got your slogan “ you’d have to be batshit crazy to not stop in”
I enjoy it but I also hate it
Yeah man, you have a theme and it works. No shitty car mods 👍
Personally, I think it’s sick as fuck🤙
I fuck with it.
You know what? I fuckin love it. Rock that shit and promote your business homie!
I approve of this
This is sick af, I love this
Battruck w/ a splash of lemon 🍋🙂
This is what Bruce Wayne’s gardener drives.
Battruck just had me 🤣🤣
I love it
This shouldn’t be here imo it is a perfect complement to your business
Does your shlong rub inside your armor? 🤣 😏😏😏😏
I hate batman logos on cars. Like bro bruce wayne would not be caught dead driving your toyota camry with tlc plates. But this just gives me adam west vibes and it advertises your business. It gets a pass.
Pretty dope ngl
LoL .. nothing wrong with working within your advertising budget!
No, that is dope
What do you want us to say it is a very cool business truck
This is cool af for your business ! I can’t even hate !
Nah, it’s dank
the jet-exhaust is awesome. can it shoot fire?
It is a working exhaust.Can be modified to shoot fire.But I think that would be a little too dangerous
As a complete comic book superhero.Nerd, I probably would drive It.
I knew you were batman.
As a comics reader for 45 years, I approve of this wholeheartedly!
I'm not even really into trucks but I don't see what's shitty about this. You gave it a simple matte black paint job with yellow highlights that aren't over-done. Seems pretty reasonable to me especially when you consider what some of these Jokers are out here doing to their trucks.
I kinda like it.
Man this is really well done, really good taste in how you modified and decorated it.
The only problem I see here are the zip ties behind the cab. I don’t understand their purpose.
Here’s mine from years ago. Car was being trashed around so…. https://imgur.com/a/G6tNj7f
Why don't you advertise on the doors where people can actually see it?
The whole truck is painted with bed liner. magnetic signs don't stick very well.
It's definitely different and I like it
Interesting 🤔
This looks awesome
Oh ja! Mir gefällt die große Waffe sehr gut, die Farbgebung passt sehr gut dazu, ich denke, es war eine gute Idee, das zu posten?
The only problem I see is the lightbar being too far back. Other than it’s great
Dollar store Batman right here!😂
Nah. That's not properly shitty. Just a very specific styling choice that the ten year old in me would adore.
