Diamond plate hugely out of style?

[wsager]

Looks good to me!

I don't usually like it, but that looks good to me too.

I have it on the interior rear quarter panels holding my speakers and the doors have it, I don't mind it so much.

I trimmed mine out with Black door trim. Think it sets it off. Bet it would look good on that Green too!

If you're ever planning on selling it take lots of pictures before hand. Diamond plate = rust for most potential buyers.

My .02, diamond plate belongs on tool boxes.

I say to each their own but have to go along with this comment. My brother told me it belongs on fire trucks ... he builds them. Based on his comment, the diamond plate was one of the first things to come off of my Bronco.

I think the same can be said of bed liner. Both have been used extensively to cover rust holes, dents, and other sins.

I agree! They both have took on a bad rap. Original Intent was good.

In moderation it can be ok. There are two major problems with it though, first one is its styling seriously dates the rig to the 90's when it was the cool thing to do, same thing that saw blade wheels do. Second which is more pressing is that too many use it to cover areas of rot and you can typically tell by the install. That being said, I don't mind seeing it in areas of major wear like bed rails, door sills or tailgate protection. With so many styling options available today, I don't like seeing it plastered throughout the vehicle as most don't take the time to keep it polished...

Personally, I prefer to use "Black Gorilla Tape" to cover things up!!!%)%) (yeah it's another inside joke from SC 2016)

Hmm.
Maybe you can show an example where bed liner, in the cab was a selling point.?:?
