Try sticking the plate to the bed with some quality double sided sticky tape. That will give you a really clean install look, and its not very thick. I love that diamond plate though, could you tell us where to find some? :-p

I think you should try to make the diff cover natural metal color and the rest black. I think it'd break up the all black and look really scale.

That I could. But I think I will run it like this for a while and beat it on the rocks then I can always revert back to the primered/sanded look.
