Not for "Chrome Haters"

I just added a billet grille to my 09 F550, now I need to focus my attention to the sides and rear.

The Bull bar is made by real wheels. I couldn't use a standard bull bar because of my front counterweight, and didn't want it covering up my spoiler led's. It is made of stainless, and chrome plated.

Can be done... Alsa makes a chrome painting system. 50 Cent, or Fiddy Cent, or $.50, or whatever in the crap you call him had a Lamborghini done that way.

BTW, I never noticed your truck wasa wrecker. Nice! Something about a recovery truck that is just charming to me. Sort of reminds me of the days watching the Dukes of Hazzard, I recon. You have definitely got a nice truck!!!
