Default Bull Bars

Ive been looking into getting a bull bar, I think they make the truck look a little nicer, i personally dont think brush guards look very good on the newer f150s, Well my question is what looks better on a tuxedo black f150 xlt a black one or a chrome one. pictures would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Thank you.
if your truck is 4wheel drive do you really want to get rid of those tow hooks?

if you have chrome steps and wheels go with the chrome one or black bull bar with chrome skid plate. imo

It looks the same way mine is mounted. Two brackets bolt into your slots for your tow hooks then two more bolts bolt to the bull bar on each side of it.

Tuxedo black metallic with the appearance package so I have zero chrome. I even went to the extent of painting the chrome exhaust tip and exhaust pipe to get rid of what I had left. I bought a chrome Aries bull bar, but Plasti Dipped it black. the matte black of the bull bar. side decal and exhaust look great in my opinion. But here are the pictures you requested....
