Man i'm still debating a white bottom....under the moldings.....85% sure i will go solid but i have been known to change!! lol

[rwade]

How about a solid red with moldings and a white top? I completely understand about changing your mind, I do at least 3 times a day on most truck decisions. I got faith in you.
