The only chrome left on the truck is on the window trim, the power steps, and the tow hooks.
This would be easiest, if I were to go with the Platinum grille:
This would be easiest, if I were to go with the Platinum grille:
- Paint only the accent bars either matte black or Magnetic
- Leave the tailgate panel stock, but paint the emblems matte black or Magnetic, and fill the P-L-A-T-I-N-U-M indentions with color-matched ABS letters

Well, I just made a hail mary offer on an eBay Platinum grille and won it, so I guess that's the route I'm going.

I feel kinda hurt by that statement, I've been Magnetic and Bronze since last July....
6' Pro Comp lift w/Pro Comp Xtreme 35x12.50R20 MT2s on Fuel Beast wheels.
Painted to match pocket flares.
Wrapped the stainless plaque on the tailgate.
A little wrap on the definition bars in the grille.

9,xxx miles
I received the black ABS lettering for the tailgate today. My plan was to paint them with J7 paint I have lying around... however, they're really flexible, and I don't know if I can paint them before applying them. I'm pretty sure if they flex, the paint will chip right off. So I might install as is, black. I'm on the fence.
I also pulled the trigger on a Fab Fours Black Steel Elite bumper, arriving sometime next week.
This morning I was checking out in traffic how well I manually aligned the epoxied front camera mount in the grille (*pats self on back*):

The best way I can describe it is, when you pull the handle to open the door, notice that there's a gap between the handle and the door skin at the back of the handle. Stick your fingers in there and pull straight out.
