Silver! I have Black SuperCrew with 1/8" silver. They light up under streetlights. I think it looks great. I had black '01, '04, and now '07 with 1/8" silver pins. Check my gallery...(should work, if not, I'll have to play with it)
I do my own, slight trick to getting it right. I have mine wrapped from grill, around tailgate to grill on other side....no breaks other than normal body joints.

RangerPilot,
I posted what photos I have at the office in my gallery.
I will add some better ones of the stripes and some of the other mods tonight .
I agree, the thin ones don't really look too good on the truck.
Stay Tuned...

I added a couple of photos in my gallary of the stripes.
We had some snow here a couple of days ago and the roads were a mess, so I got around to the carwash tonight and took a couple of shots afterwards.
In the photo of the back ofthe truck you can also see the Banks Monster Dual Exhaust...
Hope these help.

Dang Doogie, they look good. Sorry to hijack the thread, but how'd you do the hood scoop? Are the stripes vinyl stick on or painted?
Thanks for the info, 'bout to do mine again.

its what i used except i got it thru the local snap-on man. works well. it is like a big eraser. you attach it to a cordless drill. it will leave marks on the paint and it will need to be waxed when thru. make sure to not use it with more rpm's than is directed..it can damage paint. this works for pinstripes that arent painted on.

I love that warning on that website:
No kidding?
Actually when I removed mine, I just got a razor blade under the edge around a corner (not hard at all, take your time), and once the corner was up the whole things would come off easy, just pull straight down the line.
Not to be used to remove painted-on pinstripes.

RangerPilot,
All the stripes are vinyl, including the scoop. The local trim shop did them for around $400.
I went with vinyl at first as the wife wasn't sure that she wanted them, so if I had to remove them, it wouldn't be too much work.
Most vinyls will only last 5 years or so in the sun, so when these get too discoloured, I will have them painted on instead.
You should be able to take your truck into a trim shop and have them remove the stripes with a minimal of work. I'm sure there is a trick to it, but I don't know what it is...
Cheers,
Doug
