I just got mine in and I had the same delema but now I have it on the truck and am very pleased with the results. I am glad I did not paint it black. Now I am going to buy some headlights with the clear parking brake lights and then call it good.

if your still looking for black wheels id paint it. If you where goin to go with a chrome theme id leave it. I personally dont like the DSG/black combo its too dark for my tastes, I think the chrome you got goin on now looks good!! that is just my .02 though..

another good reason to paint it. Of course, if you really want to be original you could PTM the lights and the grill.

Ballin, you need to update your siggy. I think your truck looks good enough to merit an update.
