Default Good idea or a dream?

So I'm about to order the Poison Spyder Rocker Knockers and Body Armor, and I already have their Brawler Lite bumper. I wanted to do something different than all black so I started looking at other colors. I didn't want anything too bold like orange, so I was wondering about a dark gunmetal gray or something.

Kind of like this rig:

But I was wondering if that would be too hard to mimic. I'm possibly moving to metal flares that I'd also paint dark gunmetal gray. I was also thinking of getting their hood louver painted in the same color.

I really like this look but I'm not sure if it'd look right without the LEDs, and other fun expensive stuff on the above rig.

SO, my question for you guys is could I pull it off? honest opinions..but not too harsh

(next post will have pics of my Jeep)

I think gunmetal would look sick on black.

contrasting muted colors look best on the wrangler in my opinion......(no chrome) PSC brawler rockers here, i think rocker knockers look great.

Would the hood louver in gunmetal gray be too much? I was thinking of two toning the rocker knockers also.

I'm pretty sure i'm going to go for it. How much do you guys think it costs to get powdercoating on rocker knockers and the poison spyder body armor?

That looks really nice. I will have to think strongly about doing the louver in grey too.
