Just ordered Harley Davidson style black housing headlights. Really debating whether I want to get black tails and third brake light. Thoughts? Too much black, leave the red for contrast...or black it out? Once I go black bumpers will it not have enough contrast?

Nice truck and choice of wheels. Im getting the atx punisher wheels in teflon.With the different BS on the wheels they tend to stick out a little. Ever think about getting the stock fender flares? Im going that route.

I've definitely thought of fender flares. These don't stick out that much, but I'd like some flares just to help keep the truck a little more clean for sure. That's a "down the road" purchase as I have too much other stuff I want to get beforehand (spray-in bedliners, tool box big enough to fit my golf clubs, tonneau cover, black front and rear bumpers, etc).
Quick chop job...
I thought it would be too much black and not enough contrast. After seeing them blacked out though I think the stock lights stick out like sore thumbs...so I'm going black on the tail lights and third brake light too (working on the deal now). This may be enough black that the bumpers can wait a while...although I think black bumpers will really tie it all together down the road.

Oh, one more question, how do I know if my rear is an open diff or if it has a limited slip in it? Is a limited slip standard equipment, an option (and if so whats the option code so I can check the build sticker), or not offered at all on 2WD models?

Never been a big fan of black vehicles but I have to admit black is beautiful when clean sweet truck josh and I have to agree blacked out lights look good
