With a new lowdown stance in place, Mike knew he had to bolt on a set of wheels that would only add to the new extreme look of his S-10. After looking at all the options, he chose a set of 18x8 Billet Specialties GT-52's. Utilizing 225-40-18 rubber from Dunlop, Mike was ready to move on to the next stage.

The next stop for Mike's S-10 was Frisby's Hi-Tech in Marshall, NC. Greg Frisby went straight to work shaving the door handles, tailgate handle and antenna. Frisby then welded in a Sir Michael's steel rollpan. With the engine and transmission out, Frisby smoothed the firewall for added show points. Frisby bolted on a bumper and valance combo from a '98 S-10. Now, smoothed and ready for paint, Frisby used PPG Dark Cherry Red Metallic to bring Mike's S-10 to life. To finish the exterior, clear corner lamps were bolted in place. Going full show means changing everything, interior included. Mike did just that. Changing the factory grey cloth out, he chose oatmeal tweed and went straight to work. Mike wrapped the dash himself, and with the help of friends and family, treated the rest of the interior to same level of attention. The factory seats were ditched and in their place a set of '86 S-10 Blazer seat covered in oatmeal tweed bolted in. Flamed door panels were installed as well and flames throughout the rest of Mike's S-10. Everything was changed to match, including the seatbelts and vents. A billet rear view mirror was put in place and finishing things off, a Billet Specialties Spyder 2 steering wheel was added.
