I agree to get rid of any chrome. The grill studs and door handles look out of place

I like it.. I just would have removed the emblems and re added them after instead of just spraying over them..

That would just ad more chrome for him to get rid of. I might not have thought of it until it was too late but if it were mine and I'd thought of it I would have had the body shop remove them and fill in the holes and go with no emblems anywhere.

If you want to save a buck or two ... Buy a can of Bedliner Black Spray paint ...Sand them a little and paint ... it sticks to plastic pretty good ...

I think to give it a "texture contrast" you should just spray plastidip over the handles. It'll be a smoother black and would look great in my opinion. You could do your wheels with it too.

Just to trow in my opinions, not that they will matter much at this point.

I think the bedliner looks good. I dont think that is the route I would have gone but I enjoy watching someone else do it.

Glad you changed the headlights from chrome to black.

Absolutely hate the grill. I think that a raptor grill would look a million times better.

And I think that 2 tone with tan at the bottom would have been killer such as [MENTION=92379]LaxinFish29[/MENTION]

Default Update

I finally was able to get the rims and tires put on the truck. I've been moving across North America so it's taken a lot longer than expected.

looks good without the chrome wheels. It almost looks like metallic paint depending how the sun hits it. Any thought on swapping the mirror reflectors for the flat black ones?
