I've saw so many bad things come from putting diamond plate on the lower part of your truck. All that moisture gets trapped in there and then before you know it you have big rust holes in your truck

Right now I think im at the perfect stage of black on my truck(tinted windows tail lights and headlights and wheels) then the silver breaks it all up not sure if I wanna take it to the next step. My truck currently is in the state of formal yet casual(imo) like a tuxedo t-shirt, it says im formal but yet im here to party.

Yes or no? Wheels are that color just not in this pic due to tire shine

This is what my wheels normally looks like

Open to ALL opinions!
I'm a little biased...that color blue is my favorite color. I think the photo shopped concept looks kick-***! The Plasti-dip and the bed liner finishes look clean and rugged, in my eyes.

I say, pull the trigger!

I hope it goes smoothy for you if you decide to do it. I wanna see Pics if you do!

My girlfriend just said the black and navy/dark blue don't match well in my opinion both would be sick. I really really like your truck man

That was Kinda Sudden

You stumble on an offer you couldn't refuse?

Regardless, that is a great looking truck. Hope the rust issue (if any) are waaaaaaay better than what you told me about on the Dakota.

Congrats and enjoy!

Well it was a pretty good deal and ive been looking for a truck since my tranny went in my dakota about 2 months ago. I already knew that I was buying a truck with no rust on it and thats what I did. On a scale of 1-10 id put it at a .5 where my dakota I put at about a 5 or 6.
