I like both but I only like chrome in limited amounts. Most of the trucks that have chrome have plenty from the factory. I can't stand chrome bug gaurds and vent visors. Adding plastic chrome to a truck is tacky IMO.

I plan on pulling my "F150" emblems and paint the outline gunmetal to match the grille, rims, and side steps. Not a fan of too much chrome.

Prefer chrome because it accents a black truck. I know some people go over board but nothing like walking across the parking looking at a nice truck trimmed in chrome.

I like both, but when it comes to chrome it has to be whatever came stock from the factory ie. absolutely no added chrome door handle bezzles from pep boys, door trim, ect.


I've added chrome mirror caps (OEM) since Lariats and Platinum's have them.

I personally like chrome, I think it belongs on pickup trucks but that's my opinion. I have an STX but have added a few things that are chrome plated but not too much.

I've had two black trucks, an XTR with chrome and a FX4. I liked both, but I think the FX4 looks sharper. Of course too much chrome and too much black can make a truck look a little tacky IMHO.
