Trim/Accessories color?

Alright, I'm wondering if i should go with chrome or black for stuff like the grille, window visors, bug deflector, etc. I want to keep my ptm mirror caps and door handles so that makes me wonder if i should do black instead of chrome. Also, if i go black i don't know if i should just leave the current grille, get a chrome one even though the visors and deflector would be black, or get a black grille? Looking forward to everyone's insight

Edit: The color in the pictures is a bit deceiving, but it is Super Green.

I'm also wanting to get overlays for the ford logos in the grille, on the tailgate, and on the steering wheel. I want to get the letters in the beige color and the background in the Green color of my truck. I assume I pick the Arizona beige for the letters, but what green do i pick for the background?

at the onlooker in the white SUV

You have a really nice truck, but with that color theme there really isn't a whole lot you can do with it. Definitely go black if anything. Get the two tone gone and PTM green, and add in some black accessories and wheels and you'll be set.

Some Harley/Lightning corner lights and Putco clear fogs would really set it off nicely though.

Yeah, its a tough color to work with, could go with black rims but i really do like the look of the chrome rims on it, especially on lost cause's KR(hope he doesn't mind i use his picture):

you can do black visors but what color is the grille now? it might look cool as a tan to match the rocker panels.

are your heads clear? and idk if id go black on your truck with the chrome steps and bumpers. chrome wheels wouldnt be too much on your truck and work nicely imo

The grille is PTM green. Heads are the original ones. Maybe the black visors/deflectors, and one of these grilles http://www.stylintrucks.com/parts.as...tfamilyid=2418 or http://www.stylintrucks.com/parts.as...tfamilyid=1945

I have considered maybe getting a chrome bull bar for it too, not sure what to think about that tho. Once i get my license back next Friday (finally) my plans are to get the front sides tinted to match the rest, get my exhaust ordered and put on, do the Gotts mod, and also I am going to have the custom graphics shop come up with a few designs for King Ranch letters PTM'd green that will go on the tan rocker panels on the doors. Not sure if I'm going to like it, but am going to give it some thought anyway. Planning to get a programmer from vmp also.
