I agree with this as well. The few chrome accents on the truck tie in nicely with the small silver accents on your rims.

Thanks for the comments guys. I think I'm going to leave it as is. If my rims were completely black I may be more inclined to do everything black, but as others have said, I think everything ties together pretty nicely.

That was actually my plan when I first painted the grill. Although, I couldn't get the plasti dip to leave a good edge there. I had it all taped off and painted, but the dip started pulling up when I removed the tape. I'm guessing the dip wasn't wet enough when I did it, but it wasn't completely dry either. Anyways, Instead of retaping and doing it all over i just left it chrome

I was all about Blackout... Now it seems so common, its gotten kind of Dull. By Blacking it all out it really doesn't look very special or different from any other truck Ford, Chevy, Dodge or Rice. I've owned quite a few Black Vehicles blacked out a few. Maybe it was a thing when I was Younger, maybe I've just gotten Old. Now I like Some Chrome.

For me the hardest part about Blacking Out once you start you have to go all out. Once going all out its noticeable that there are over 50 Shades of Black. It starts to look bad when theres Black, Flat Black, Satin Black, Gloss Black, Powder Coat Black, Tuxedo Black and then of course the different manufacturers Versions of their Black. Dupont etc.....

Of course we are back to it is Your Truck...
Is BlackOut a Fad that will end???

I think it looks really sharp as it is.

The stubby antenna... where did you get that from? I have to park underground and the stock antenna is always hitting the sprinkler pipes, HVAC, and exit signs. Don't care how well it works... I don't use my radio anyway.

Orielly auto, it was about $20. Most auto places should have them!

I like how high my antenna is, it's slightly higher than my cab and is a good warning for running into things!

Agreed. With all the low ceiling bull**** parking in Toronto, the antenna is a magnificent early warning system.
