The black has really grown on me and looks a lot better in person. Getting a lot of compliments on it. Since the tonneau cover and trim is black it just looks right.

The more I compare the before and after, the more I belive that chrome belongs on Harley's haha. The plastic grille and headlight trim just looks like cheap plastic faux chrome and it gets beat up fast. The real chrome bumper looks good, but the plastic looks like junk with the chrome look.

I like it more and more with the black now.

If you paint the inserts of the grille blue it would look good too

I prefer crome. It make a sharp look, and a good crome lasts a lot of time

I do plan on giving this truck a proper black paint job this summer, so it will pull it all together nicely!
