Color match or BLACK?

[tzr916]

In the pursuit to delete all chrome off my truck, I'm leaning toward black vs color match for bumpers, mirrors, and door handles. Already finished with the grill/emblems/headlights (see photos). Paint code is bright silver metallic. If I go black, I am thinking satin finish for the bumpers.

Scored an OEM dual exhuast for $60 (currently have single) and Lyell's stainless muffler is coming. The primered steel dual rear bumper arrives today - color or black?

Also picked up power folding limited mirrors for $200. I've got the chrome "covers" removed - color or black? If I go black, would it be satin or gloss to match the plastic?

Planning next to order a steel front bumper with fogs - color or black? I do consider the front end as the most important area. Color match seems to be the norm, which is why I think a black lower bumper would look nice with my grill/emblem/headlight combo. Otherwise, would seem like too much silver, not enough black.

Generally I think the paint matched bumpers look better, but sometimes if done right with the overall truck, black looks good.


Clear as mud

Color Match complete, along with a bunch of other stuff... Changing side emblems to black next, then the only thing left chrome would be the door handles.

Nicely done!
On yours I would leave the handles chrome.

you have some chrome in your headlights to tie it in. My opinion is the black handles look would make it look more like a base model truck.
Agree lose the 1500 door badge and amazon the blackout the Hemi 5.7 badges.
