Blacked out emblems, Or no?

Did you have issues switching out your headlights or tails for the projectors or leds?

I installed LED headlight bulbs that came with the canbus adapters or what ever they are called. No problems with my LED tails, but i had to add a resistor to my 3rd brake light. Without the resistor, the bed light stayed on dimly lit.

Chrome won’t get you home, looks good blacked out

I think with the black bumper and the tail lights the chrome gives it good contrast. I have always liked chrome, but do think a lot of the blacked out stuff looks good too. In this situation i think it's just too much black.

I like the contrast of the chrome/black also.

Blacked out all the way on your truck. No question to me. looks badass.
The only chrome I have are my exhaust tips, which are being changed to 5" all black very soon.

I would also de badge as much as possible. Looks cleaner.

Yeah that will be coming off once it gets warm. I had chrome bumpers...I couldnt stand them so i took them both off, and bought new bumpers and had them painted black. The chrome bumpers bothered me since the fist day i bought the truck. Truck has came a long way.
Here are before, and after pics.

I think carbon fiber not black would be better. Just a black truck now from a far.

You already know black emblems is the way to go with your setup. hahaha

Looks good man, well done.

Could have tried to put some VHT tint spray on the emblems. It wouldn't be a full black out of the emblem as I believe there would be some contrast with the chrome showing through.

Thats not a bad idea at all. I might try that on the door badges when it gets warm again. Great idea. Anyone done this yet?

needs 5 inch exhaust tips

 

[GIJoe2010]

Just the tips???

Wouldnt know what rice burners would do (live in Idaho) hehe, but thought it might add some contrast or something unique. Black out trucks are a dim a dozen now. Wonder if maybe keep the black out but line the emblem with a gun metal strip some how? I see black out trucks, yeah they were neat but now I see alot of them. Been thinking to myself what they could do to make em pop. Was thinking vinyl or somehow outline the elmbems and contour of the truck. Hopfully no one with a black out truck think I am talking smack hehe, just ideas.
