    Looks ok. Not as good as other Flat Black vehicles.

    I'm thinking if the wheels were silver or polished the flat black would have a bigger effect....

    The wheels and the running boards throw it off for me.

    I think if the chrome window trim and chrome front grill were blacked out it would look better

    I think that one's painted, but I'd used the vinyl wrap on mine...

    Agreed. Black out the window trim and the side steps.

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    I agree 100%... well maybe 90%... 22's look really good on those trucks with proper fitment.

    matte black wheels w/gloss black lip would look amazing on that.
