Of course it will look awesome and no painting required.
Absolutely love that truck ! I'm confused are you associated with a shop or just doing this yourself with some input from a pro ?

Having issues "resizing" the pictures- but still working on it!
Stainless is for asthetic reasons mostly. The cage is mild steel. Only the front and rear clips are stainless. It will be brushed for a finish that should contrast a mostly black car nicely.
I know people have arguments for/against stainless, but this is the route we chose.
The fabrication work is being done by my good friend at Wilcox Garage. I don't own that particular skill set!
