Default Black or Ptm

I'm about to order fender flares and NFab steps bars and am looking for a direction to go with my truck. If I go black I would have the flares and steps black, bedline the rear bumper and front chrome and lower valance and rockers too. Also black out the billet grille and badges. And later black rims. Now if I go green i would paint the flares and steps green and also the lower valance. I was leaning towards going black but I dont know how that would look with my green. Any opinions are welcomed.

Heres how she sits now minus the lightning headlights and corners that I just got in the mail.

Personally I think if you ptm you should leave the chrome, the chrome on your truck looks good. I am not really a fan of blacked out but that just me. If it were me I'd ptm the flares and paint the steps black and leave the chrome that's there, it's just enough to accent the dark green.

GO GREEN!!! Green flares, steps and valence would look super clean and still tie in with the black headlights. Black bumpers would make it look like a work truck so I'd stay away from that.

I think green flares black rims ptm bumpers black grill black likghts black emblems black steps. Then a 3" bl and 35"s would make it look really mean. I'm a big fan of blacked out rigs. And your green and black will look good.
