Opinions are what im looking for, get me thinking. Ive been reading this site for a long time and like how you guys think. I will say, IF i go with the black hood, ill be adding a modified rumble bee stripe on the box to help accent the front and also add aluminum grille inserts to break up the black in the front.

I would paint the hood white, but do a black stripe on the cowl part back to the window.

Just follow the lines on the cowl spot.

If you wanna go with the black I would get some nice looking black wheels and black out the windows to make it look better personally. I also think maybe just painting the scoop black with the rumble bee graphic. i just personally dont really care for the whole hood being a diff color than the whole truck.

Black and silver, ok. Black and gold, I'd be praying for a rare illness or contemplating suicide. Black and gold is just plain ugly to me.

For cddaily, i already have black wheels on it,17 inch ARE Fuels, black nerf bars, black vent shades and bug shield. The windows are tinted as well except the drivers door, (its illegal where i live). I guess im still on the fence with it. The pic moparmutt posted doesnt look too bad, but i dont want to do the roof, just the hood and grille bezel, add aluminum grille inserts with a rumble bee stripe around the bed. I just wanted to say you guys have been great with your input...gives me angles to look at and think about i didnt have before! Thanks alot!
