Default debating on stripes

i have been enjoying the black look for a while but someone told me they thought the truck would look good with silver stripes and since then im thinking it might whats the general concensus keep it black or silver stripes up the hood and roof and then down the tailgate

if anyones good with photoshop and wants to help me out it would be nice

I love the look of a murdered out truck but since you have chrome rims I like the idea of the silver rally stripes. If you had a hard bed cover you could run them all the way. There is a Black Dodge truck in town that just had that done and it looks sick!

Here's something I've been thinking about a sort of old "Charger-Hemi" take off look. Talking about the diagonal strips on the fenders. Also, the small flat areas on the upper fenders would lend themselves to having graphics applied, again similar to the old Charger. Just having a couple cool ones thinking out loud. good luck...

Never liked stripes on ANY truck. Well maybe an SRT, but that's about it. Come to think of it....I seen a nice newer ('06+) Yukon 4dr that had an offset 8" wide stripe. It was a black SUV with a Silver stripe. Looked stupid if you ask me. Almost childish like a high school kid.

The only thing I don't like on your truck is the flat black grill? What's up with that? i do like the Chrome rims as it adds to the Stealth look, but Stripes is over doing it. Not to mention they need to be perfectly straight or they look ridiculous. Chrome+black+another color for stripes won't mix.
This is just my opinion.

I would leave it without any stripes. The only thing I would change would be to paint the grill surround so that it matches the rest of the truck. Other than that, I would leave it alone, the truck looks really good the way it is.

After that I would leave it alone. I think your truck looks good as is.
