Funny you guys are talking about blacking out trim. I just got a black grille and headlight bezels shipped to change out the chrome on my xlt. I already switched the old rusty chrome bumper and it's getting painted black now. She's still in the paint shop, but I hope to be switching this stuff out soon. I'll still need to paint the rear bumper (chrome isn't looking too hot on it, but it's not in too bad of shape) and I will eventually order some black side mirrors. I stripped the side molding and plan on going with a simple pinstripe. I think they look good blacked out, but that's just me.

I think it depends on how you do it. I don't think plasti dipping all the trim and whatnot looks good at all. On an older truck, chrome just has a more classic look, which is my preference. I don't think black rims will generally look as good as a chrome set on the body style either. Mines a two tone brown lariat tho, so the chrome on it works better than blacking out would
