Of the two options I think the grey looks better. If you go with the grey maybe consider adding harley tails to finish the look.

I would choose the second choice with the darker bottom... The lighter color will only show the dirt kicked up by your wheels and tires...

Anyone Linex that area? maybe better than painting it? I had the 2 tone on the 04 FX4 w/ no problems though. Never tried Linex.

The grey looks best if you prefer the two tone.

Now days, a lot of people prefer single color, myself included, barely. My last three F-150's vave been single color. Two tone is not a deal killer, just not my first choice.

You might should check in the bedliner forum about Linex'ing the lower panels. There is a member over there named Truckgasm that owns a Linex shop in Ft. Worth, TX, I believe? I think anything you can paint, you can Linex.

Keep it single tone. Chrome bumpers and flares painted one color and the strip painted another will not look its best.

I think you should do something like a gun metal color. Not sure if you have seen that color on some wheels or not....google it. It could be neat.

#2 if u must do it.

You will never get the orange peel in the clear to match the rest of the truck though. I myself would not even think about somthing like this a a brand new truck.
