Default help with chrome or black

I want to add a bull bar and side bars to my truck. I like the idea of black, but chrome would look good too. I wanted to see what you guys think. also, what brands/styles should I be checking into to. thanks for the input!

I too like black but looking at your truck I think chrome would make it stand out more. So ifin it was my truck I would really look into chrome since your bumper and wheels are chrome I think it would bring out the color of your truck more.

I have to agree with KMC. The chrome would look better than black on your truck.

IMO step bars and bull bars look best when they match the wheels, so in your case I would go with chrome.

nice truck by the way. id go with chrome, i think black would look good if you painted the rest of your chrome black your wheels grill and bumpers. black with some chrome parts make the black items look not necessarily cheep kinda getto ish out of place?what those ^guys said.

IMO chrome. My father in law had a truck the same color as yours and had the chrome steps, looked great! Not to mention when those factory saw blades are cleaned and the sun is shining they're really chrome, so the steps would look great accenting the wheels.

My vote would be for chrome too. I am a chrome guy anyway though, but then you will match the wheels and bumper.

The chrome would go great if your truck was all black but you have that tan strip and fender flares. I would go with the black I dont think the chrome would go good with the tan
