That's definitely better. Before your eyes were drawn only to the center stack. Now you see everything as a whole.

What I like or am going for is "damn, that looks sharp" not necessarily a certain color scheme. And your right, the white was definitely bright in the sun! Thanks for the kudos on the exterior, I've changed it a bit from the profile pic, I kicked out the wheels a bit more & blacked out the rims, retrofit hid's, etc. I'm waiting for the windshield tint before I post up a few outer pics.

I fell victim to mod overkill on my F250, due to too much time on my hands. Sometimes you just need to stop, enough is enough. Need to find another hobby or interest.

Thanks Hardcorefxfour for your help. I got the vinyl yesterday and started wrapping like it was Christmas Eve! I went with the brushed titanium instead of the matte version and am really glad I did. still have the bottom areas do in black but it's definitely looking WAYYY better!!!

Part of me wants to make the radio bezel black like the airbag cover & instrument area instead of the dark gray but I also like the dark gray too. Again, I suck at color design so looking for some thoughts from the peanut gallery now that it's more than a crappy photoshop.

Thanks again for the new direction!

White white interior would have litterally killed the re-sale value of the truck. Gray looks pretty good.

Thanks! Although I'm never going to sell this truck which is why I've done so much to it. It will probably go to my daughter when she's old enough to drive.
