Seems like everyone wants to have all black accents these days?
I already did that to my mustang 4yrs ago and don't think I will do another like it. It would be too repetative

Ya, I've had my truck just over a year and I haven't seen any in Salt Lake with black accents so I thought I would be the first. I plan on powder coating tthe wheels with the ring around the wheel yellow. Does anybody have a Photoshop that they can give me an idea so I don't do it and not like it?

well i just did some blacking out on my truck. its not the same as yours or even the same color but might give you a little idea of what to expect when its done . I did my bumpers, rims and my rockers all in flat black, I think it looks 100 times better then the previous light grey and chrome.

I think the rockers look good black also

If you black it out. rims to get powdercoated for 20's with 2 colors is $90 per rim in the NY area. Not bad at all. One color is only $60. I called today actually for my Brothers rims.
Also, Get the Hemi decal that goes down the bed. That would look better than the bottom in black, but that's just my .02 Also, putting both decal and bottom together wouldn't look good either. Just the decal with the wheels and trim is plenty. Less is better. Go too much and it will look ridiculous.
I think that if you keep your chrome steps and bumpers and get your wheels powdercoated black along with the bed Hemi logo stripe. That would be very subtle and sharp!
