Okay...so, in slowly working towards the black and white theme as money provides, I blacked out my bumpers...I'm not sure if I like it yet...

Yeah, rockers are next weekend when I get paid. I also really need to get the top bed liners for the truck. That will hopefully help as well

I think it looks good. Black on the rockers, black rims, colormatched grill shell and some black and white JJ lights.

Where is the best place to buy a colormatched grille shell?

Man honestly right now I kinda think it looks like you got the ST Model with that, but once you get the rockers, that will look bad ass!

if your not happy with it you can always go over it with white to color match. or even white bedliner on the bumpers and rockers.

Do them rockers and you'll feel completely different about your truck! I did my rockers first and I thought it looked weird with the chrome bumpers but I did them all it tuned out sweet and I loved the look!

Honestly, I'm a noob... I have no idea what the differences in the trim levels are... I'd love the knowledge if anyone can share

It looks like you got crash parts (replacements) installed and haven't had them painted yet.

I vote you get em color-matched instead.

ST is base as it gets, no chrome bumpers no power anything and nothing fancy inside what so ever. St comes with bumpers that are primered or something and are flat black. Your truck will look sick with the rockers painted though.

I had my bumpers sprayed with Line-X when I did the bed. I went with the same color scheme + a little camo and it looks good on mine.

I also added black fender flares prior to the bumpers and they really go well together.

I'm not feeling it, not even if you do the rockers. I'm sure the dealer that you eventually trade it in to will feel the same too....
