I think the style/location of the graphics is going to make the long bed look longer. I agree with Parke, it would probably look better solid, but it's your ride! Either way, lookin good so far.

i daily a little nissan that is 2 toned and also own a 97 k1500 ..... just wanted to try something new ....
the only reason i shaded both sides of the stripes is because on the drivers side i shaded just the left sides(the front) for a shadow look, then when i went to the passenger side i shaded the left sides of the stripe too(the back)
so i just shaded both sides of the lines ... and now i have a cinci bengals truck ..... or a tony the tiger
i am about 50/50 with likes and dislikes so i might leave it, even though its not what i wanted, it still doesnt look to bad.
a rim shot with primer .......
more pics on tuesday.....
