Don't get me wrong it looks great! But IMO it dosent flow with the 2 tone bottom on the truck.... If the whole truck was white i think it would look more uniform. Man it dose make the front of the truck pop! Nice job man! If it was mine(and thiis only my opion) Id Paint it to match the two tone bottom of the truck.

I think it looks great ( And that's my honest opinion ) ! I also had no idea plasti-dip came in white does it come in other colors? Did you take the valance off to do it or just tape everything off ? I did a bit of plasti dipping on my bumpers over the weekend and was thinking next time it would just be easier to take things apart.

http://www.dipyourcar.com/home.php?cat=5 is where i got the white since the only color they carry in stores around here is black. it does come in a variety of other colors aswell.

i just taped everything off. theres like 12 bolts that hold the valence on and i wasnt about to take all them off

Itemized- the valence by itself looks amazing in white. However, the whole truck is clashing with the chrome bumper and the two-tone rockers. My gf even says it doesn't match

You're on the way. I love the headlights. OEM or repro?

if you're looking for honest opinions, you probably dont want mine....the paintjob on the lower valence looks good, but that's where it ends

If you had an all white truck id say leave it and call it good. But it just doesnt look right with the tan rockers imo.
