    Mostly stock with a few minor mods.
    Leave it. Looks good as is. The bugs and rocks and shit will drive you crazy if you paint it white. The black goes with the tires and other accents.

    Black looks good. White will be tough, I think you’d have a hard time color matching it to the truck and then it would just look off
