    Sometimes the best 'mods' are ones you didn't make.

    If i'm going to do something to my truck or anything else, the idea is to improve it, not detract from it.

    Indigo ink would be the worst color to do it on. You would barely be able to tell...no contrast in color so what's the point?

    I was thinking this when this thread started, the old school vinyl top...Ray yours and Noes does look good. Better than this.

    Your truck, your right. Your opinion.

    The Gloss Black enhanced my other mods in my opinion. I'm "VERY" happy with this mod.

    ^ I thought of doing that but I didn't like how it appears dull or flat in the sun. I love the GLOSS Black version for mine. Does look good though.

    I love the CF look, but I love the original shiny gloss carbon fiber look. This one is amazing but it looks Dull.

    Flat black on OLD schools or other vehicles look Amazing.

    I know this is an old thread, but I'm considering doing this mod as well. Did those of you that did this mod DIY or have it done professionally? If DIY do know what demensions I would need. Just thought I'd get it from my local sign shop. Also if DIY, how hard was it to cut around the 3rd brake light?
