Yeah, I think that if this is done correctly it can look good. I have seen this on some cars and it looks good. I am not sure how it would look on a truck though.


Also, I have only recently heard of "murdering out" your vehicle. This is supposedly where you make it completely matte black (wheels included). Sounds...um...special...

They worked for me. I don't like matte/flat black, but that hood looks pretty good with it.
