im thinking about changing the look of my truck and i figured the easiest way would be to go with a one 1 piece. if this worked out it would b a 100% swap from one truck to the other. plus i would get a little cash.

this would be the clip.

The one piece looks great, I've been trying to find one up for grab in my neck of the woods. I think u should go for it
 
The one piece clips look a lot better and have better styling...at least to me. The traditional hood and fenders is much easier to work around and easier to replace if busted up bad enough. Pros and cons to each but if I did mine again I'd go 1 piece.

IMO 3 piece all the way. clips on DDs are a pain to mount and get the lights solidly mounted. plus, taking that thing off by yourself is a hassle.
 
id do it and then take the cash and ditch that bed. im sure its gonna look killer when done (hopefully soon) but it looks like a junkyard mix and match right now.

I vote do it.

it sure is tempting.

matt and mac you both bring up some good points on the ease of accessibility on having which i do love about my current set up. whats funny is that when i do any major work on my front kit i pull the fenders off.

^^ lol your honesty kills me and gives me motivation. im with you on how the bed looks. i did not have the right tools or time to do a proper flare to the fleet side so doing what i did was really all i could done.
 
i'd rather have the 3 piece setup... if you need to replace the "fender", its cheaper/easier to fix the 3 piece deal.

plus i'd rather have the body line of the 3 piece than the weird line the 1 piece gives.
