    White! I love the panda theme.
    Do you have any other angle shots of those skids?

    haha pink? i dunno if im that bold billy, not for my daily driver.
    i would actually go for that on a project, but not for my daily

    dubski-
    their made of 3/16 sheet steel. They are currently just primed and now have a few scratches after last weekend


    if i did paint em white, i would get matching paint from home depot/checker. So they would be a perfect match.

    I think the white would make it just look too big and bold, I think it kinda overwhelms and takes over the entire front of your truck....'course you may want that affect .....I'd say black.

    I'd say keep em metal, but if its mild steel i suppose it will rust. Although if you paint it it's going to look quite rough fairly quickly isnt it?

    Semi-gloss black, it'll hide the scratches and rash and be easy to touch-up. Once you go black...
