i like the factory chrome but i wouldn't add stick on chrome. rims would be chrome if i ever got any but i dont see that happening. i love the look of my truck, the blue/silver with chrome is amazing when clean in the sun. btw "never dull" is the ***** for cleaning chrome. its nice not having a front bumper with tons of rock chips like a painted one gets...

 

I think Chrome is an accent, not a mainstay. Emblems, door handles, grilles, rims and some bumpers and step bars look good in chrome. But the door sill tack-ons, fake hood vents, lower rocker panels, windshield wipers, mirror caps, fuel filler doors, mud flaps, bug shields, rain vents, etc are a bit much.

 

Nothing "wrong" with chrome, I just don't like it. I'm an "all body color" kind of guy. If I'm going to have some sort of metal, I'd prefer SS or brushed aluminum.

To each, his/her own.

 

I agree on the brushed aluminum. I havent found any brushed aluminum handles or grilles for my truck yet. The Roush grille with a brushed aluminum finish would be awesome IMO.

 

its a truck...so i dont wash it but maybe once every other month....so its always water spotted and dirty and just didnt shine, with my black and white and no chrome then she looks like she shines more when not washed

 

There is nothing wrong with chrome, but it is like everything else you can have too much.

 

I feel if it's true chrome on steel it's cool, but plastic chrome just isn't for me. That's why I will be getting a new grille. The one I have now seems so flimsy and cheap.

 

I LOVE chrome, problem is I'm LAZY. The two do not go well together. LOVE chrome, hate polishing.

You can imagine my personal torment. I hate the "murdered out" look. My truck was bought for purpose not looks, if I had a choice it would have been Black with tons of Chrome or white with tons of chrome. Maybe after I retire and can spend a whole polishing, oh wait, that is what my '49 is for.

 

I personally love a tastefully chromed truck. If I didnt buy an FX4 I would most likely have some bling on it, in a couple subtle spots. Being that it came with body matched bumpers and a black grille I just kinda kept it going.

now if only I could find someone to powder coat my rims and steps black...

 

I love chrome on most trucks...but if I had a black F150 you wouldn't see any chrome- they look bad *** all black.
