I had all the lower gray cladding & factory step bars painted black to match the body color. I dyed the pads for the steps and rear bumper black to match. Painting and body work done by Selberts Auto Body in Eureka, MO Phone:(636) 938-5400.  I also had the fenders and hood sanded, smoothed,and painted.  Looks a million times better now with the all black than it did with the gray cladding!
