Nah, much better than plastidipping it but it's just always seemed weird to me to paint everything different than stock but I guess my tastes are changing a bit. Still not totally convinced haha

Plus mine are quite basic, just trying for the most light output 
And exactly, that's why pickups sell so well because of the ability to mod them and their utility. People like to complain about not having everything done their way from the factory but honestly, I like doing little things to make it unique and mine

That's a nice rig. You should post your pics over in the 6.5' bed thread also!

I like it.. very simple. very nicely done.. I want a bit of color to my STX but not much. I'm just keeping mine simple also. I'll be having Moody Blue do some vinyls for the ovals and side and rear badging for a personal touch while adding a bit of color.
