opinions on bull bar, chrome or black powder coat?

I have a 2003 white F150 xlt 4x4.
Full length nerf bars, polished 304SS w/ black plastic steps.
I have the opportunity to get a bull bar, powder coated black for $100.
It is unused, & includes all the hardware.
I am wondering if a Polished SS bull bar would look better?
I would pay much more if I got a SS polished bar versus the available 'deal'.
Tried to attach two pics.
One pic shows two set ups, black and SS polished bars.
2nd pic is actual bull bar I can get for $100.
Tried to include links to flickr site, too.
Let me know what you think looks best and why?
Any reason the pics may show up so small?
Thanks.

IMO, I would stick with the polished look you already have, especially if you have chrome bumpers. I personally would regret it and feel that keeping a uniform looking truck is priceless.

I would go with the powder coat personally, but I like black, have a black truck, but have chrome steps, I am currently in the process of putting a black powder coated front end on the truck as well and for 100 bucks you could just give it a shot and see how ya like it and always remove it...then again with the white..chrome all around would be sweet also.
