You should paint the chrome on the grill surround to match your truck..

just sanding and tapin it off. the tape was the most time consuming cuz i had to get it in all the little creases. if your gonna do it, put a thicker strip around the fenders cuz i got some blowback on my paint and it looks like a dirt line. you cant tell unless your up close but i gotta even it out later. you can kinda tell in that last pic because of how the sun was
