Two-tone yes, stripes no. IMHO stripes are waaaay overused...camaros and chevelles would be insulted if they saw everything that was wearing stripes these days

Myself, I like upper/middle/lower style two-tone, but if you did the upper/lower style, you could do the lower part out of bedliner. I think that would look sharp, be functional, and fit the tough style of your truck. It's looking awesome btw -- can't believe how far you've come with it!

Well, Obviously I like it all solid. It looks like a full height truck now, The other looks like it's squatting down or something.....

i think the two tone colors are sweet. never seen that combo before. but the only way to make it work is with polished/chrome wheels those mockey's in the pic really looks sharp, black wheels wouldn't work with a storm grey metallic.

Ya paint the wheels with the same color when you two tone it. That will look awesome....
