What's wrong with Chrome?, Lol....Your truck's clean. Nice! Don't go overboard with the Black. I only say that because I see it everywhere. Be different and be Tasteful!

I just don't like chrome. Looks flashy and gaudy in my opinion. I want to put one of these two grilles on just don't know which one yet? Looking for opinions. First one would be gloss black and second would be matte black. My wheels are matte black but im not sure which finish to get. They both come in gloss or matte

I like the mesh one first. The only thing I don't like is the black surround.
When that is painted white, then it looks great.

Sure either grille is fine- esp. if you want to look like every other dimestore redneck on the street. Maybe a 6" lift kit and some ridiculous off-road tire too? I know, how 'bout some skulls all over it?

disagree, chrome makes it look cheap and plasticy. There's a reason why chrome is more prevalent on cheaper trims.

white paint with black accents looks great, in my opinion.

I highly agree. That's what I'm going for is the black and white. I'm going to make some calls to see how much to vinyl wrap the bumpers white. I just can't seem to find oxford white in vinyl

I agree that - Chrome plated plastic as in "Chrome Cladding" is not Fab. at all, which seems to be the norm. these days. But true Chrome is Fabimundo! But I still think that Black, which I love, is overdone. I'm just saying your truck looks very nice! Just don't over do it is all....
