    I like that look a lot, especially with the light bar. I've been thinking about doing the same with my truck...black truck with silver lower valance, but I haven't seen one on here with that color combo. Anyone?

    honestly man I don't hate the look of it, but I think it looks a lot better color matched...but it's your truck so whatever you like is what you should do

    Go for it. Its a good look. Plus, imo, the plasti-dip coating may help reduce road debris damage (like bug gut stains/etching, sand blasting, etc).
