I would go as dark as you can (living in cali) with all the front lights to help flow along with the wheels and stripe to getting it looking the best imo..

looks BADASS. i agree with color matching the handles and mirrors, clear corners but IMO you should have done an HD hood too.

I was worried that it will look odd going all the way down to the ground no? I realized that there's no pic of the *** end of the truck so here's one, but as you can see the stripes stop at the tail gate too, not sure if I should take them both all the way to the ground?
no they are the 4 holes on top of each corner of the bed is what i meant. little late now as they would have to be filled like smoothing door handles..

And I'm not going very dark on the lights, really really light tint actually.
Slept on it, and I will!
ummmm...wanna trade!

PS Don't sell your truck!! 

I'm not sure so don't quote me on this but I don't think the bumper cap pops or snaps into place on top of the old bumper...or does it?
I ended up buying the HD bumper to go along with the cap and the grill. The HD bumper needed new mounting brackets so I had to cut the old ones off and weld new brackets on. Not sure all that was necessary since I don't ever hear about anyone else having to do that. Maybe someone who's also done this conversion can chime in and let us know the easier way of doing this because I'm pretty sure what I did wasn't really necessary.
No good on the mirrors flat black mirrors huh? If I paint those it will really change the profile of the truck alot, it's like a hot girl who's got big ears that stick out...could end up like that.

they dont look bad being flat black but i think they stick out more not being the same color as the rest of the truck. if it ends up not looking good you can always have them resprayed flat black

IMO, i think a roll pan with matching stripes would look good. color match the mirrors and handles, put some headlights and blinker lights that have the black background and clear lenses in it, and some tasteful LED taillights and 3rd brake light like the hella's^^^^ slightly tinted. LEAVE THE CALIPERS RED!! they look sick
the truck looks (.)(.) by the way
