Looks good man. My only suggestions would be to paint the rear mud-flaps silver. Hell, I even like the chrome grille on the silver truck. I usually hate chrome.....except for wheels and exhaust pipes.

This is actually something I've been thinking about for a while...since I bought the truck. It had the black ones on it when I bought it, and I've always felt they should match the front ones, so I've been kicking it around.

It's actually not a Tri-fecta. It's a Tuff Tonneau, also made by Extang though. I do love having no snaps and the click-lock tail rail though.

Here's a list of Dakota wheels.
I don't know if they could do it, but I like style "C".
Your silver/silver combo looks cool.

Cause, Did you have any issues, like "ghosting" of the 4x4 logo or any evidence of fading when you too them off? I have been thinking about doing it to mine for months, but have been hesitant. Also, what did you use to remove them? Thanks! -Ghost.

No, none at all, like ericemery said, I wouldn't worry about it. These trucks aren't that old, and didn't notice any at all.

All I did to take them off was take a hair dryer and heat up the edge of the decal until I could could pick it up with my fingernail, then I just started peeling back, following with the hair dryer where it was still attached to the paint as I pulled. I had them both off if under 5 minutes.

I like that C one as well, it will be nice to give them stock wheels a little bit of flare.. Cya Slick
