i remembered seeing pics a while back so i clicked his name and viewed threads he started. found pics in less than 30 seconds of starting my search....in my opinion, for your truck, i would go with the ******* tonneau that has the ducktail spoiler. assuming your hoodscoop is 2 feet wide, then i would do the 2 foot wide stripe down the middle ONLY if you take the stripe and connect it down the tailgate and rear bumper aswell and on your roof. no need to go further forward than your roof. it would remind me of the manta stripes on camaro ss's. manta stripe pic at bottom





this is a buddies of mine

no need to do the "burger pannel" on your truck though, which is the horizantal painted part.

well, if you dont do it full out, and only stripe the tonneau, it will look off because it wont flow correctly. if i were you and you cant figure it out, i would just get the solid red tonneau (i would most definately go with the ******* with the ducktail spoiler for your truck) and consider adding the stripe later, or leave it completely red.

honestly, that was the first thing i thought about but i dont think it would look quite right. what you could do is go vynal stripes instead. im not a huge fan if vynal, but its a great way to see if you like something enough to have it painted on at a later point or if you want to scratch the idea
