    Added extra awesomeness to its original awesomeness.
    I assume you mean match to the red? I like it black, ties in the hood.

    Any more pics of your truck, further out to see the whole thing? Looks good from what I can tell.

    I feel like it needs some kind of cross bars or something. The spacing feels weird.
