I love that look, i did the same thing to mine, but the rest of the body was rust orange-brown (avatar). Called it a "nose job" looks sick do it up. I painted the "coves" of my stock grille white, thats something to think about doing, as cutting the center out like pictured would require 'glass where you chopped, although i've never seen that mod done so all power to ya!

Are both PSed or just the bottom one ? I like the bottom one but it looks like you shoulda used the eraser on the headlights ? All in all not bad, it is really hard to paint a truck white and black in PS, at least for me anyways.

Paint Job
The best way to paint in photoshop is first try to get the colors on a even playing field, meaning...is your are working with light and dark colors to make all colors dark or all colors lights. Then you can use "levels" or "curves" to make color and change it to whatever color you want to use.
Only the bottom is photoshoped. Why would I use the eraser on the headlights, it would delete the pixels, its better to use a "levels" to match colors. That way you remove just the "yellows", "reds" or whatever color you need to remove.
