I think so too as a stand-alone, but I worry how it looks against all the chrome/light paint though. Maybe I'm making more of it than I need to.

The plan is to update all of the exterior lighting - even if it's a step at a time.

A can of Sherwin-Williams paint and a roller and you are in business!

On the wheel discussion from earlier, have you looked at anything Eagle Alloy puts out?

lol @ paint and roller...good idea! Backyard paint job, here we come!

I haven't looked real close at Eagle's stuff yet...going to though. I really liked the set of Granites I saw today, but the black on them, again, may be too much contrast with the light color of the truck.
