That's too funny man! After I get done removing all my bades and moldings it with be very Darth Vader Esque, Blacked out windows, no shiny chrome side moldings, black mirror covers. I think I'm starting to feel like a Star Wars Geek now!!

I actually just put a set of the 275/70/16's on my truck. Definately go black out they gloss up very nicely.

I also have a Black bowtie and a dark strip of tint on the top of my windsheild!! Great minds think alike I guess!!
I was thinking about powder coating my stock wheels black.
Would that be too much black????
