Default Chrome or black tail and headlight

I don't know what would look better? A black or chrome headlight. That and what color rim choice to go with headlights and tail lights. Need a little guidance with this. Please help!!

if your going to go with black, id try and match the rims with the heads and tails, black with black, but then you may have to pull off the chrome handles,

It's hard to say cause of the tan bottom. The tan would throw off the red and black theme. I've never been a fan of chrome so I can't give a good opinion for chrome.

Remove chrome handle covers, and go spend 35(ish) dollars on 6 cans of plasti dip.


Plasti dip your wheels (5 coats will use at least 3 cans), and hit up your nerf bars.

Lets see a pic of what grille you have and go from there. I have a billet overlay grille that I P/D'd to go with my HD style headlights and that combo up front looks really great to me!

True. I was planning to paint the shell of the grill to match the truck and the grill and the one in the bumper black. That and the back side of the handles going to paint black, where the key pad is. then the actual handle I'm going to paint red to match the truck. Still haven't decided what to do with the tan. I'll keep ya posted as to how it's going. Thanks for the complements
