I have to ask how difficult this was. Did it require removing the fender flares and the bumpers? On the bumpers did they have to remove the plastic trim first? Does everything go back together easily? How much did it cost? Sorry for all the questions but I have been considering this. Looks good.

Removed bumpers, flares, and running boards. Plastic (and backup sensors) came off the bumpers. I had the vendor do all of it for $1300 (Line-X Premium). The guy I used had a lot of experience as well as some examples of his work in the shop when I was there. Everything went back together great.

I like the black, looking to do the same contrast with the blue and black (line-X) on mine. Then my add kicks in and I want the grill to be black and headlights to have the black background. The struggle..

I thought I'd wig out over it too, but now that it's done it doesn't bother me. Something about the symmetry of the line-X'd stuff being down low makes it work. The difference between the colors (grill, mirrors, door handles, bed rails) doesn't stand out to me.

It is just a matter of personal preference. However, the matte black will add a nice contrast to your rig.
