Very nice! Most of the "chrome" is just plastic. I would have covered it up, too.

Don't forget to plastidip the tires...only thing worse than chrome is white letter tires.......

Might also shoot a layer on the lights as well for good measure.

I'm gonna get the tires rotated so black is on the outside. Plastidip on headlights? I think i'm good man. Night visibility isn't the greatest with stock headlights.

It looks good, I like the black look and ptm. I don't like chrome that much. I got both, I rather my truck which is all ptm and black, my dads XLT has the chrome package and IMO it is too much. But your truck is awesome I would just do it more permanent than plasti-dip!!
