Oh my bad man there was a guy with a truck that same color but he had it lowered and had circle lights in the fog holes. i will say though it looks alright. i just don't like that it makes it super noticeable and you can see every detail of the valence. my truck when I'm done with it will have zero chrome.

PTM the bumper pad and valance. Leave the bumper chrome. Especially if you have a chrome rear bumper. If you have plans for other black on the truck painting the grille black will work, if not, I think PTM would be something you could consider. Another option for the grille, if you're not doing any more black and don't color match the valance, I would paint the grille to match it.

Edit: Looked at the pics in the OP again. With your L heads and corners, you need the chrome bumper unless you go with a L or HD valance.

I experimented with color matching my grille. But decided against it. Would have gone with it, if I could have found a honeycomb grille to color match for the valance.



I photoshop this

Well I picked up the paint today. Was going to be $97.26. Luckily the lady that works there cut me a deal and let me have my clear fir free, I think it was clear, maybe it was activator. Anyway I got it for $58 and some change. I still got to buy a can of gloss black. Man automotive paint is hella high!
