Default Roll Pan, Yes or No?

I was looking at some roll pans and I cant make up my mind if I like them or not. What are your opinions on them? Some time I think they look clean and other times I prefer a color matched bumper.

I prefer a roll pan becuase it just kind of finishes up the back end, But its just a personal preference and alot of it is do you really USE your truck.

Go with a roll pan.

Roll Pan
It really cleans the truck up and takes off 7-8" of length - Even tho I like my StreetScene b/c the liscense plate is embedded in the middle instead of hanging off, I would probably recommend the Sir Michaels pan just because steel will probably look better on the bottom edge, plus you can weld it in to the fenders later if you want to. If I did it over again I'd probably get sir michaels.

Go with the rollpan, I have a sir michaels molded on the sides, and it looks great, I only wish I could have found a steel pan with the license plate in the middle instead of hanging of like 03 said, but it still looks good. Gives a clean look to the back, especially with a shaved tailgate.

roll pan is very badass, but if you live where its alot of traffic, or still in school.. parking lots, etc.. if you get tapped with a roll pan it will screw up your tailgate, quarter panel, bed, and roll pan itself.

but i like the way they look

I just got the same rollpan. What did it cost for paint and prep??
BTW, I think that rollpans are the way to go if you dont mind 10x as much damage from a fenderbender. Its a bit of a gamble, but I think it looks nicer.
