Love my chrome!

With my truck, I think a mix of black and chrome looks good. So, I try to keep it balanced.
Chrome certainly holds up better than paint, especially on the bumpers and grill. Seen many a painted bumpers with road rash.

Just remember, black won't get you back, it's chrome that gets you home!

my truck came with the Chrome package. i dont mind the mirrors / bumpers, but i hate the chrome wheels... and the fake chrome is pitting.
so it's either $80 in PD, or $800 for a new set of wheels... mhm... right now i'm too broke for either, so i live with it!

I love the FX/STX look. But i also love the chrome grilles with the surround painted, and chrome bumpers. I hate PD. Only thing i see its good for is, trying out a look. Because you can then peel it off. That's what i did. Tested it out on my interior door handles, liked it, peel the pd off. Then painted them right, with real paint.

I love the people who love to point out how much they paid for their truck, and how quality oriented they are. Then they will pd their whole truck.

I feel like I successfully found the dozen members who actually like chrome lol. Wonder where all the PD fans are at?

My XLT has the chrome package. I bought a silver truck because the chrome "blends" better with it. I am a monochrome type of guy. I don't like too much going on in the way of color. Two colors max for me. I would like to eventually get rid of the chrome, but with real paint. Not looking to plastidip anything. Ideally, I would love to find an STX or FX owner who likes chrome and just swap bumpers and ****. Haven't put the feeler out there because I doubt there will be many takers.

This is where plasti dip comes into play.. You get the best of both worlds cause it peals right off.
