Just a trend right now where loads of people are "murdering out" their trucks, cars, and bikes. I have been a fan of the blacked out look for years and years. Well before the trend started. So I am happy about it. I like chrome, but love the look of a blacked out ride.

While I'm not in the marketing business, it's obvious (to me) that this is why auto manufacturers offer models with chrome. Some like it, some don't. It was extreemly popular in the 50's, but it added lots of weight. It was removed in the 70's during the gas prices rising in an attempt to help fuel economy. Today, they use lighter metals, and have brought back chrome, albeit in less moderation.
I personally prefer the bumpers to be painted the color of the body, but would agree a nice clean and polished chrome truck looks good. On darker colors, chrome fits well.

Lots of good responses on here! 
I just want to try something to see what people consider to much, just right, or to little. Others should post pictures as well to get a larger sample.
Who thinks this is to much chrome? Who thinks its just Right? Who thinks its to little?

Run what you want, it's your truck. If you like it, than I like but it doesn't mean I'd drive it. What I find pathetic is the people that feel the need to voice their negative opinion every chance they get. Never before have I seen people whine so much about colors of rims. If peoples choice of rims is that important to you, you have one pathetic life.
