    Photo taken under fluorescent lighting, might be different under direct sunlight.

    Excellent.

    Awesome. I have decided to pain mine Satin OD brown. The green I found is not the right color for me.

    So wait, you're going with OD (olive drab) or brown or both? Will be interesting.

    I usta have an OD truck. It was Orange Drab. It started out pretty sharp but faded to look like a VDOT truck.

    I never saw an insert in 'showroom' condition. I know mine was grey until I had it LineX'd.

    BTW, the guy here sells CF applique sheets big enough to cover the insert.

    I will leave the cladding black. I think it will look good. My clear coat is actually peeling now.

    I posted a while back about doing just that with a twist. From a distance it appears to be winter camo...up close it is actually skulls. I saw it on a rock buggy.
