Re: what do you think

The silver one definitely, the black looks a little too halloweenish to me. But to go one step further, personally I think the newer more rounded cover looks better than the older squared off one. JMO.

Re: what do you think

Just cuz everyone's saying silver, I'm going to say black. If you do a good job with the paint, then the black stands out better and doesn't look as pretentious.

Re: what do you think

silver - it looks better, plus your truck is silver so it works with that too.

But - who's truck is it? If it's the wife's truck, then whatever she says is the one that looks better.
