Default Chrome Delete help

Newbie here. I have a 2017 F-150 with chrome, chrome, chrome. Either I grew old or grew young, but I have to get rid of the bling.

Can you share successes on replscing mirrir caps, door handles and grilles?

4wd shops sell bumpers and wheels, whereas dekearships sell Sport packages.

I went with-> PTM Door Handles, Mirror Caps, Tail Gate Handle & Grill. I had my Bumpers Powder Coated. Replaced the Fender Emblems & Had the Ovals Painted, Although most of my parts were Black, not Chrome they had to be replaced because of Texture & Paintability...I guess ya could call it Success, I call it Applying Lip-Stick-> AKA-> Modding the Look!

Does PTM mean Paint to match?

LOL... brings to mind, to each his own...

While you are removing chrome, I am adding chrome!

But... some Monochrome trucks do look pretty awesome!

Good luck.

Mirror caps are offered factory match painted on eBay along with grills. Start there. Lots of YouTube videos on replacing the mirror caps and grill. Google is your friend!

The monochromatic look is pretty cool, but I still prefer a bit of added sparkle that only chrome can offer.😎

I pulled all my chrome. Got new bumpers, grille, emblems, etc. It was easy, just spend MO MONEY!
