    I think you should keep your moto metals looks good on your truck at least in that picture it does but maybe post more pics? You could look at the photoshop thread and see if they can do something for ya there.

    Yeah like I said I like the look because they are not completely black and just simply blend well with your truck. What about them do you not like?

    yeah the mudflaps kinda suck on there but they help deflect some of the gravel rocks i encounter going out my road on a daily basis so i kinda hate to love them lol

    the handles and chrome mirrors came on the truck when i bought it, i kinda like the handles, they go with the moto metals. but the mirrors gotta go. i would try to take them off but i dont feel like messing with it so ill let them come off when they want to
