Can't make up my mind whether I

Chrome would match your truck much better from the sound of it.

I'm totally on the fence. The chrome for obvious reasons, but the black to break it up, give some accenting. I have a black tool box, black oem body moldings, the black mirrors, door handles, so with that scheme the black would work too. I looked at dozens of pictures of both on silver trucks and the biggest problem is they BOTH look good. Damn OCD.

if your truck had chrome door handles and mirrors, and a diamond plate tool box id say go chrome. but if you already have black accents go black :favorites13:

Whatever you pick post a pic of it when you install, I'm on the fence too and I have a silver ram lol. Although i think the black would be better for mine, but the silver looks great as well lol.

What type of grille do you have on your truck? I have a 2013 Bighorn with chrome bumpers and grille now. I Plasti Dipped the handles black and I am going to color match the grille surround (Bright Silver) with black honeycomb inserts. I am leaning towards black projectors on mine. If you are going to keep the front grille and bumper chrome I would stick with chrome, black may look out of place.

Thanks for reminding me of my next OCD meltdown...Chrome or black grille...Definitely ditching the honeycomb for a stock looking billet.

I swapped my billet for honeycomb so it would match the honeycomb in the new hood.

Since you rig has some chromes, go with chrome projector headlights.
