Improving looks of Silver Trucks....
 
1 Attachment(s)
Okay any and all silver truck owners....I love my truck but there is just TOO MUCH bright clean silver paint. Has anyone modified a silver truck with accessories or paint to break up the solid color? I'm looking for ideas and PICTURES!! I am thinking of two-toning the bottom black from the break on down but not sure how to blend it with the chrome bumpers? The fender flares will be the same black. Black on top of the hood? Cool but wouldn't be seen much unless you're inside the truck. Right now I have Nitto Grapplers and Bilstein 5100's on the short list, so that should help the looks a bit.
Suggestions....Examples...pictures.....anyone..... .anyone......Beuler....

I have black satin 3M tape on the rocker panels and tailgate of my silver XLT EB. It's a work truck, so not as spiffy as trucks which are "pleasure vehicles," but it will give you the idea. I used 3M so I could "undo it" if I didn't like the look.

Thanks. As you can see, I replaced the factory chrome steps with black. Black rims are in the plan for Spring. (There's already snow on the ground here, so how the wheels look now isn't critical till Spring.) I'm thinking of the MKW M81 satin black (all black).
