I`ve always been a fan of matte black.
Actually thinking about doing the same thing, except I`m looking for one that you could personalize (I`m polynesian, so polynesian/maori symbols).
Anybody know about a company that do this type of vinyls ?

I agree with Eddie, but if I just had to pick one with no knowledge I'd say gloss black

I just can't picture this in my head. :think:

But, I voted matte black because I had an '83 Buick Regal with a matte black vinyl roof and it looked good.

Sorry it doesn't really show the roof. I'll try to take a better picture if I can ever get the truck washed again. It's always below freezing when I have time!

I'd vote matte, but keep in mind this will increase the temp of the cab considerably.

Oh man! I'm LOVING everything about that! That stance is badass too!
Got any info in the lowering?

5/7 or 5/8 drop but not exactly sure what all went into doing it but I can imagine its spindles and springs in the front and probably cut springs in the back

Oh my, that's absolutely delicious! I'm surprised he doesn't have more poke in the front from spindles.

I'd love to start with a 2/4 with spindles, then go with Air.

That seems like a good idea that way you get the height you want whenever you want

Yea, I've scraped that black piece stock a time or two (nothing is paved worth a **** here in NM). Anywho. Thanks for posting the roof pic, I'm madly in love with my idea now.

gloss black will tie in better imo. matte when not used enough imo can come off almost grey in some light.

This is why I didn't want Carbon Fiber. I thought I did, then I saw an SRT-10 with that done... It looked grey or powdery primer grey. (aka, terrible)
