I think the flat black looks great as an accent on the newer body styles as it does on your truck BullDog.. that all flat black is more fitting for the older classic cars like the Lincolns, Pontiacs, and Chevy. jimo

Don't think so, fairly certain they were tinted when the paint was done, also flat or matte
