If the green doesn't match your existing green close enough then I would say go with the black.

Spend the extra 30 for the billet if you want (I still think black is more your truck's thing), but save the 40 more and loose the brass knuckle look.

Go with the plain billet one. That way you can make it any color you want and its stronger than the plastic. Where are you going to mount it?
