Great lookin trucks.

I've never really been a fan of chrome (last F-250 ordered with factory paint matched sports package, previous Tundra spent years of trying to get rid of chrome any chance I got) but on black, and probably only on black, I have to admit chrome adds some much welcome contrast and pop. Just as easy it is to see examples of way too much chrome, I think too much black looks equally tacky.

I couldn't agree more. I have a tux black STX and I'm actually looking to swap out my grill for either a platinum or limited just to give it some contrast. Originally, I was going to add the Harley head/tails lights, but I've decided to keep the OEM chrome ones for just that reason. I do have the chrome steps, but I feel like that may be pushing it, so I'm looking to swap them out with the FX black/gray style......if I could ever find a used set for a supercab...

Do you have a link to that? I couldn't pull it up using the search feature on their site?

Thanks!

How did those headlights turn out, was thinking about switching those too. Thanks.
