Default $.02 needed on bumper color
I'm going to get the PS Brawler bumper for the rear this week but I can't make up my mind on the finish. My options are Bedliner to match my tailgate and grill, satin-black or body color(silver). I would appreciate some opinions....

I was thinking that if I went with black I could probably black-out that body line below the gate. I am thinking pretty hard about body color- just wish I could see it first before I committed to the paint job.

I'm afraid body color would get pretty dinged up off road. Bedliner or black would be easy to touch up
Body color would look good though

Only had 5-10 minutes to put this together so its the best I could do for the time I had. If you want it done way better let me know and i will do it later. Just a general idea for now.

x2 on this, my thoughts exactly.

Oh and when I added Rock Sliders I painted the 'under door seam' black and it looks great.
