AutoDip looks like paint.

I have been trying to get a picture to show how the truck looks in person. I hate how my phone pictures don't show any detail in the wheels. Stay tuned.

I think white paint with black accents is a great color combo, probably one of the best...but you gotta get rid of the chrome to make it work. I think wrapping your bumpers or using something like white autodip would go a long way. Grill just needs to be PTM surround, black center.

I will have to check it out on the emblems. Doubt they have tricoat white though I... I haven't decided what to do with the grill, but I know I'm not touching the bumpers.

Sorry about the delay, I've been gone for a while.

Both... I have a 2.5" level, but I also have a 2" block in the rear in place of the stock 1" block.

I've got a little "heads up" on those wheels. I've got the same ones on my little Ranger, 8X16 though.
Those chrome "buttons" like to come off, and fly where ever on the road. Out of four wheels, I'm missing 6 of them now. My spare is also the same wheel, so I plan on removing some from my spare, and replacing the missing ones. Maybe some RTV will hold them on permanently.
I also vote PTM on that grille surround, looks much better than the chrome. I'd also leave the door handles as they are, as well as the TT mirrors the black they came with. The boards and mirrors, are enough black to possibly tie it all together with your wheels. Not sure on the bumpers, but certainly not black, either leave them chrome, or do some white ones, $$$$.
Just my $.02,

Are the "buttons" just glued on? Thanks for the heads up. Everybody loves PTM grill surround. I am not turning my truck into an Fx4 though.

No, they appear to be just a friction fit. I'm trying to figure a way to pull them off without damaging anything, before they fly out by themselves.

Edit; Just found this on the Raceline website. Those chrome thingies are called rivets, 5 for $4.00.

Scroll down on the page, and you'll find them.

Thanks, I think they should have given us extras when we bought new wheels. They obviously know they fall off if they selling them.
