Need Opinions!
As some of you have scene, there are a few areas of my truck that are still in need of possible chrome over to black conversion. I removed the step sides today and those are definitely getting powder coated, but now i must know if i should get my rear chrome panel powder coated. I have a picture of the rear with the rear panel off giving you an idea what it may look like. I am so torn tho, I think both look great, and both give the truck 2 different personalities, but i get nervous leaving the tailgate black like that because it may scream "XL" which is def is not.. I also realize the all black shot is a camera phone, the other is a digital camera, i will post better one if need be

Thank you for comments as usual, well I mean it just seems usually XL trucks typically would not come with something showy like that, they usually are satin and boring, and that sort of looks boring to the average eye

Id keep it, and 2nd the chrome bumper. I think it looks good with it. The panel is like 400 bucks new from LMC, I wouldnt mess with it. If anything just take it off and lock it in a vault.

Leave the panel off. looks so clean with it off. maybe get a black tailgate handle too. YOu have gone so far with the black out thing. It would look sick if you did it to the full extent.

problem with that is a lot of people do that...not that its a bad thing but instead of doing EVERYTHING black mix it up that way you can find it when its dark out and you wont wind up tryin to get into someone elses truck in a crowded parking lot lol

haha yeah, the tailgate is def the hardest thing for me to part ways with. I think it gives the truck a lot of character, and tuffness, but when i see the all black, it really makes it look street, which this truck is screaming for. I dunno tho, I got to sit on it. I sort of messed the panel up today too. That little black strip insert inside the chrome piece where it says "FORD", well i tried prying that out, and the piece inside of that broke, so I am bumming about that. I am think i have to get some sort of sheet metal to fill that insert now t cover up the holes it left now. Damn...

seems that the chrome panel is winning pretty handily. Good point f350XL, I think some chrome does help make it stand out more, I think i will leave it, mostly because i don't feel like pulling out that darn tailgate handle
