I disagree, I think it would look stupid with stainless lights on a powder coated roll bar, and the roll bar will NOT be chrome again cause it sits outside and chrome up keep is way too much, as well as cost of chrome,

If polished stainless isn't an option I would NOT have them the same color as the roll bar. Monochrome can be an OK look (never my preference, but again, just my opinion). But no part of this truck is monochome. There's contrast all over it, stick with that theme. And if it were me, I'd go with the contrast of light gray / polished stainless

Got the rollbar dissassembled awhile ago and took it to the sandblaster.
Got it back shortly after and took it straight to my cousins garage.
We spent probably 8 hours over 3 times working on it to get it finished, and it turned out great.
My cousin has been a welder/fabricator for 30+ years and is very talented, some of the ways he mocked it up to make sure things were straight and true I would have never thought of.
I am very happy with the outcome,
took it back and droped it off at the blaster to go over again today, and when its done tomorrow its going to the powder coater
