Heres my .02..... IMO running board pads should of stayed black to accent the tint on the windows IMO. Hood is sick, color blending body lines in rear look good..... Now the chrome bumper..... If you rear is chrome(IMO), leave the front chrome or if your going to paint,do the SS cover and paint foglight vents gray to match your wheels. BOY... you really love WHITE!!!! Should I be worried? LOL:laughing1:

LMAO!! I work with what I got. Trying to get it to all come together (somehow)

But the more I look at others rides w/ matched running boards with black pad, just doesn't make sense. Feels like its done because that's what everyone else does, and for usefull purposes makes sense. That and my eyes are drawn to the running boards! no point in that. But since I'm not doing a white w/ black accent rig anymore, going all white just makes more sense to me. Like someone who goes blackd out, n keeps boards black, no contrast there, but flows.
I'm still not done, so will see what needs to be added or taken away to get it all to come together. EVERYTHING can be changed if it doesn't look right to me. I actually wasn't to fond of the white running boards when first installed. But more I look at it, the more it works for me. FOR NOW, haha

I'm supposed to be getting an SS front bumper this week I think. And will figure out what to do about rear bumper.

Black steps on the boards ... you're a baller not a milkman.

Unless you are a milkman.

GOT MILK! haha.
Trust me I know already. NOBODY is gonna like the all white running boards. Everyone said same thing prior to painting, "white with black pads"

Once I get an SS front bumper put on, I will figure out if something needs to be done.

Why isn't the same thing said about black rides with black running boards? hmmmmm
:baby: Boo Hoo for me u guys don't like my ride. haha, jk fellas, grain of salt

I never said I didn't like it! I actually like the all white boards. It's unique. I'm sure with time and a little wash and wax the boards will look more uniform to the body. I'm not sold on going with the SS bumper though.

all good bro, wasn't calling anybody out man. Having a ****** day at work anyways, so my patience.is thin right now, lol. Shit, I sometimes am unsure about them being all white, just totally different then what i'm used to. I hear ya tho, they don't look "matched" color wise in pic, but look better in person. All good tho, was kinda expecting everyone to dislike since I didn't add black into them. not hating everybody opinion, better u guys then the AZ guys I deal with.:)

No SS bumper? again, I sometimes feel the same way. But supposed to be getting a deal on one so we'll see

Again guys, I come on here for opinions, and for or against, it's all good.

i hate it and cant stand that you like it. lmao jk. Personally im not a big fan of it. I think its to much. However it does not look horrible, not as bad as i was thinking it was going to be. I have enjoyed the overall transformation of the truck though. Lets see what you have next. :Handshake:

damn you!! I was hoping for a more blatant beat down!! lol.

Ya know, I am looking at it like everyone else for the first time, since haven't seen it done. Had No clue what to expect, and still not sure I REALLY like it or not. It's just different right now, we'll see tho...

BUT...... more to come for sure
