Right?
Chrome was in during the 60s, now it back in style! And this from a chrome dome guy.

There's a guy here in our Town as well with an F-150 done that way... see him at our local Coffee Shop several times a week! Definitely can't miss it!

Looks damn good...I've been completely done with chrome for a decade now. Most all new trucks these days look hilarious with their standard designs with awful gigantic chrome grilles and over-sized chrome badges...to each their own though.

Personally, I hate the chrome look. I also find chrome to be dangerous at times. I have experienced sun reflecting off the chrome causing visibility issues on various car, trucks and motorcycles. Get the right angle of sun hitting the chrome and reflecting into your eyes, BOOM! Instantly all you see is a white dot.
My 2013 BMW K1600GTL was a big problem with the two 'wings' at the front of the gas tank, designed to fold out to catch air and direct it to the driver. Start hitting a twisty road at the wrong time of day and would get all kinds of sun spots dancing across my eyes. Blacked those things right away.
Have had similar issues with chrome on cars and trucks. Most notably the inside dash vents on my 2016 F250 Lariat that were chromed. Drive the the sun behind you and the outside rings could catch the sun and reflect right into my eyes while driving.
Ordered my 2022 with the Lariat Sport Appearance Package (17K), that is supposed to have color matched grill, bumpers, mirror caps. Will figure something out to de-chrome the inside also.
I've seen several trucks over the years that had the Rhino Liner, Line-X treatment on the lower panels. I like it and think it makes a lot of sense in areas where a lot of road debris like snow, mud, rocks, Mag Chloride, salt get thrown on the vehicle.
I really like the look the OP got on this truck.
