Hey dude, it is your stuff and you paid for it. Looks ok to me, but I have a sand rail that has most of the engine chrome.

as tony sinclair says " always in moderation"


Lt or Ptm handles and Ptm mirror skull caps would look 100x better.

its all about the quality of the stuff you put on, $60 handle covers vs $300 replacement handles, which do you think would look better ?

As said i would lose all the stick on pieces

I agree with all of the above comments. The chrome does not work for your truck, because you are going two different directions at the same time, blackout and chrome. Pick one and go with it, but with that black bumper your already headed down the blackout road. But it is what makes your truck different from the rest.

like everyone else says, chrome is not the enemy, it is too much chrome.

IMO, PTM mirrors, door handles, and gas cap if you really like that one.

Im also gonna go as far as suggesting you PTM your Bull Bar. Leave the Skid plate chrome, just paint the bar. Also, look into Harley Heads and Roush Grill. your truck would look AWESOME!!

IMO, an over-chromed truck looks like it's been slapped by a rolled up Pep Boys catalog. In other words, too much chrome looks cheap and it appears to look like the owner is trying too hard for bling.
We can't see the rear of your truck, but I hope there isnt a chrome badge surround in the shape of flames.

It's just an opinion, do whateva you like

I like the bling, bling effect of chrome. Your truck looks good with it.

Hate is a very strong word...but also very accurate. I have a little on mine and it stares at me and mocks me to PAINT IT.

As everyone has said its all just peoples opinions and its a sign of the times.

Heck, my next mod is going to be painting the whole truck...Flat Black...thats it, just black, so shine...anywhere!

I like chrome in moderation. I think the only chrome I would leave on your truck, as it sits, is the bull bar. If it were mine, none of the other stuff would have left a catalog. Now, of course, chrome wheels are a whole other story. Who Doesn't like chrome wheels?
