nice bed cover its looking pretty good. dont ask a mod to delete it just keep posting it. your doin a pretty good job on it so far, how low are you gonna have the truck sitting? and a dark purplish i dont think would be too bad

why not just combine it. drop the body as low as the first on and paint it the second one?
