If you already have chrome on the truck IE Lariat, XLT, King Ranch, do Chrome, otherwise a FX4 I say No Chrome!

I decided to stay with gloss black. Epoxy is curing on the first one.

I thought you'd never ask!

Amber xbA LED halos mounted on some laser cut stainless adapters that I cut in our fab shop. The halos are JB welded to the adapters and then I'll JB weld the adapters to the shrouds once everything is dry. Theoretically they should stop most of the LED light from leaking back through the backside of the shroud. We shall see!
