Anyone know if you can buy already painted door handles? Also an fx4 grill? I've always wanted painted handles, and if the price was right on a fx4 grill, I would buy one to try out. A lot of you confirmed my thinking that the hood is just too much, so it will come off. Anybody want a real good deal on it? Haha.

Looks great! Do the painted door handles to, I did them on my black truck and it made more of a difference than I thought it would.

I've never liked that hood, but I don't think it looks too bad on your truck. I can't quite put my finger on it, but the grille/hood combo just doesn't work (obviously, my opinion). I think if the grill were black, the hood would look better, or if the hood were gone, the grill would look ok. The two of them together don't seem to flow right.

I really dig the view from the side, that little chrome stack looks good in there, and the stance is realll nice.

Just my opinion...but it looks like you're trying to work 2 different styles at the same time and neither one is working well. If you're going for a "street truck" look...the wheels are too wide and look wrong with a low profile tire on them. PLus it's not low enough to pull that tire off even if it was on a narrower wheel....too much fender gap for a low street tire.

The hood isn't working either, I made the same mistake with an almost identical hood. I wound up giving mine away.

I agree Rich. It definately could use a little lower stance, however I've always kind of been into the wheels sticking out a bit look, every time I find a different wheel I like, they get discontinued. I've always disliked the hood, but I figured I would run it for awhile and see if it grew on me. For sure the truck will go lower, and the hood will come off. I appreciate everones input.

I'm with you, I love the low and wide look

Stock hood is going back on on Thursday. I will get some new pics up. If anyone wants to come get this keystone hood, I will cut them a smoking deal on it.

If anyone sees this that is good at photochopping, I would like to see what my truck would look like if the grill surround was painted to match. I don't wanna plop down 400 bucks on a grill and then not like it, haha.
