    American Roll Top Cover from Truck Covers USA. Love it.
    I totally agree. Stock and paint it. The mesh is cool too but I can imagine that I would be over it after a year or two. Everything else looks legit.

    I always heard that before doing mine. But not true.

    I didn't paint anything behind the grill and on a bright sunny day nothing is visible but the lights.

    Your lights are covering up the radiator frame and the horn, which are the two things you mostly see. Maybe you relocated the horn for the lights? I think it depends on the mesh sometimes too.

    I don't really care for the "blank" mesh, but I do like mesh with something on them.
