Black over chrome. Too much chrome can look really cheap.

Not me. I'm old school. Give me the chrome !!!

One of the few things I don't like about my Platinum is the painted bumpers. Seems more like a cost cutting move. A $50,000+ truck should have CHROME !

I've got a sterling grey with just the right amount of chrome in my opinion. But I like the way both styles look. Your truck looks real good where it is and you've already done the work to get it that way I wouldn't bother with going backwards to chrome IMO

Your truck looks sweet just the way it is. I'm a fan of the murdered look or a chromed truck in moderation. My first truck was all blacked out now I'm tryin the chrome pkg. Just go with your gut, found that's always the best way to go lol!! Your the one that has to see it everyday.

HD tails and chrome wheels. It would look nice and stand out from the crowd, since the all blacked out trend is so extremely popular and seen everywhere.

People say, "black is the new chrome," but I think it's back to "chrome is the new black."
