Paint the bumper cap, Why dont you put a grille on it. I like the way they look all flushed out in the fornt end. And if you do a rollpan, i would shave the tailgate handle as well.
Shaving tailgate would come way later with a complete make-over. That does look very good!

Lookin good man, I really like the plan for evening out the bottom color all around. Not sure about color matching the wheels though...as for the exhaust, I say dump it and hide the tips once the roll pan is on...if for some reason you keep the rear bumper I'd keep the exhaust the way it is, it's pretty cool looking

looking good. What about debadging the rear?
I say paint the bumper caps to match the lower part of the truck instead of the roll pan and dump the exhaust or tips in front of the rear tire.

Roll pan would really clean up the rear of the truck, especially if it welded in. Be sure to seal the beack of the pan if you weld it in. A hide a hitch is like $99 from Jegs.
I like the flares and the 2 tone. I would just paint the front valence tan. Here is the back of my truck shaved. An SS tailgate cap would look nice.

Gonna do both eventually. Front and Rear. Think I will try the front lower valance in black first. Will be easy to change if I don't like it. I've heard several trucks with the exhaust in front of the tires. Guess I'm too old. To loud and drone for me, plus I've got a lot of money and time in my custom exhaust that would have to be re done. A simple down after the axle behind the wheels. Old school its gonna be.

Thanks for the tip on sealing the rear of the roll pan. Think I had also read that on like a Sir Michaels install file. Didn't even notice an SS had a different tailgate cap.... have to check into those.

I like the one tone idea and the steps your going. With the one tone, maybe black wheels with the polish lip or a dark silver with teh polished lip would look good IMO.
Also, I would just take the exhaust....cut the tips off...raise the exhaust up about 2"s at put dumps at the rollpan and give you a clean look...IMO...again.

I was messing around and tried some different combos. If you want me to try and photoshop anything else for you, just let me know. PM would be best since I'll get an email notice.
Sorry for all the pictures haha. Hey have you thought about painting your grill a tan color? If you want a pic let me know. i did one and thought it looked interesting.

I painted the front bumper cover top and lower valance pewter. The same as with the tailgate. I don't have the any pics of the front, but i have the rear though.
