I think I am actually going to add the mossy oak 8" rocker cladding, the mossy oak rear window cling, and mossy oak "4x4 Hunting the country" decals to replace the factory 4x4 stickers.

Sorry a little OT...

Of course, it's a Smokestone colored truck - generally silver in appearance and the chrome blends well I think.




Silver your truck looks good man...not wild about the ricer wing but it's your truck. When done right chrome looks good. It is just like anything else...when someone takes it overboard it get crazy.

LOL..you know what I mean. I am not fan of spoilers on trucks that's all. You did yours up nice. Very good mix with the chrome and stripe etc.
On the flipside of that is something from tonight. I actually saw a 95ish 4x4 f-150 on the way down to the hospital tonight and it had the roush side stripe and spoiler. I almost choked on my coffee. It looked, well never mind.

I think someone already said it, but it's a matter of personal preference. Some trucks look good with black wheels while others don't IMO. If done correctly either look can look good.

I think all the cheap plastic parts with chrome finish turned chrome into a cheap thing. I really hate chrome finish plastic grills - they should be banned entirely!

A little bit of real chromed steel is still ok in my opinion as an accent but not to be overdone.
