Its good for a cheap truck a low budget or to see what something will look like especially since you can paint over it but it holds up really good and is pretty durible but im not putting it on my current truck its worth more so I'm doing stuff the right way on this even if it means waiting a while

I never got a ticket that night lol
I wouldn't recommend taking that stance in Alberta with the RCMP or Sheriff. They'll make you remove the tint on the spot, and if you can't they can impound your vehicle. A friend of mine thought he'd be cocky with the officer and suffice it to say, wished he had just complied.

It's way worse. The white looks very clean and well put together. Black just makes it look more like a work truck. And I think grey would do the same. Unless it was just the bumper, bumper pad, and a set of fender flares. But full front all black or dark looks bad. It doesn't flow at all with the body

I was thinking the full body in it (gunmetal grey), but the black you added on the pic has deterred me a little.. Solid editing job though lol

That's what I was thinking, I just don't want to put 3000$ + into paint for it. So old I don't think it's really worth it (my paint would be more than I bought and fixed it for )

I personally think that is too much white all together. I think it would look better keeping the bumper chrome and painting the lower valance white.
