Thanks for the input.
That's how I feel. I also use my truck for truck things and this way I really don't care if it gets the occasional bump or scratch. I do try to be careful, but it doesn't bother me if it does happen.

Haha, yes you win 5 internets. Oh sorry, that's an old joke. After looking at the pic again, you are right the door does look slightly different. I've noticed in person too that each panel kinda has its own character. Sometimes I think the bed doesn't look like it matches at all, and other times I think the whole truck looks mismatched and the bed looks fine.
