debadge, it will look "cleaner"...Keep us updated bc I've thought about having the truck painted a two-tone also.

Personal preference... Some like the clean look without badging and I've seen some real sharp trucks where the owners have painted them black to match black trim.

I think if you went two tone and painted the badges to color match the lower half of the trucks color it would look killer, and be different than anybody else.

I really like trucks with an "original" look to them. Not that I haven't seen some really nice looking trucks on here, but too many people are completely debadging or "blacking" their trucks out...
