I have my vent window post and frames out and was curious what people thought. Black, Chrome, or paint the color of the truck.

2X Greg. If you are stripping all the chrome off and painting everything body color,include them. If doing the Harley chrome as much as possible thing, chrome them. IMHO keep them black. Kinda hides 'em. Makes them not so obvious.

I agree with the black. Had mine powder coated semi gloss black when I replaced them.
They look really good.

Black or chrome both look nice but if you have side trim and all I'd say go chrome for the extra flash.

If you don't have any chrome trim go black. If you do have chrome trim, why not match it!?
