It was clearly a bold move painting it like that. To be honest, i just bought a ram air cowl hood and was thinking about doing EXACTALLY the same thing right down to adding the rumble bee stripe. I DO think your truck looks ok but now im not gonna do it cuz iknow im copying someone.
And yea...a silver stripe wouldnt be so bad around the hood, or maybe adding a cowl?
Either way...nice truck!

definatly do the top half like everyone is saying. also look into black headlights maybe. i was also thinking something with the bumper but i cant decide what exactly. maybe the center piece like the larimie's have the center chrome...maybe yours black. but then i kinda thought it would look like a gapeing hole in the front. i dont know. but i kid like the idea of something on the front along with the top half. either way, you gotta do the top and it will look amazing!

it looks weird, like someone said earlier, like it was a wrecked and the hood came off a black truck, but the paint looks really nice on it. It looks alot smoother than the stock paint.

Looks better with the top painted black. With just the hood painted looks like you got a new hood after a wreck and couldn't afford to get it painted.
That's EXACTLY what I think of when I see cars with carbon fiber hoods. Anyone from the Northeast understands that. Fookin' deer!

I agree that the top needs to be painted, as well. Possibly even a 1" strip or so along the top of the bed, just for congruity. In the thumbnails it kinda looks like a "police" paintjob!
