I like the look of that with the black out on the tops of the fenders. Id just maybe point out that you dont forget to carry it back under the window and up the B-pillar with that whole body line. I know in a PSd picture, blah blah, just reiterating. But I really like that look. I agree about nixing the stripe. I dont think it would look to bad with Vector wheels on it if you are going for that look.
Just dont put on 01 on the door or a rebel flag on the roof. There is only one General Lee, and it aint a Dakota, Chevy Pick-up, or any other cobbled together rattle can job.

I've pretty much got my heart set on black mirrors against a black hood/fender tops & doors lines.

I'm looking at making some custom fenders by sheet metaling over the space after I cut out my corner running lights from the plastic headlight doors. This completes my "boxy" look I am after, there are two places to cut my line. I can either continue the line right down the front of the fender or continue the top body line (the one I painted black on the fender) What do ya think?

I really like the way that it looks with out that plastic there. Doing the sheet metal is a great idea.
I would think maybe just follow the body line down other wise you will have a weird flat spot in the front. IMO And if it is painted along the body line, you would have to decide on what to paint the front part

An S10 is bigger? I know next to my grandfathers mid 90's Ford Ranger the Ranger is TINY compared to my Dakota. I will have to compare to an S10 but I thought mine was larger, and definitely wider (short wide hood). The S10 never came with a factory V8 so doing a swap would require more work, maybe someday I will do a GM but it would be a GMC S15. For now the Dakota is definitely looking wider and boxy, this IS a Mopar forum right? lol

It dont look nothing like an S-10
Anyway, if you do the fender fill in deal. You should think of a way to narrow up the bumper. Clean that up a little bit. Make it look old racecary I guess. Then bulk up on that lower valence looking thing off the lower rad support like the old Trans/Am cars had. I have always loved that look

Photoshopped Jeep Rims
I Photoshopped on some Jeep rims that are as close to the Vector/Turbocast II/Turbine wheels as I'm going to get for the $. They don't look too bad actually, I can deal with them for a while:
