The black molding does suck... so either paint it, remove it or add the chrome one, but you said you hated chrome so that leaves two options...

Yeah, it looks like Ill be removing them. I dont want to pull them off to paint them and then try to stick them back on, so it should look good without them

And I dont hate chrome, Billy. I just dont want any on this truck. If you say you hate chrome, your bound to get hated on by most truck owners. I learned my lesson. Lol

Chrome is ok in small amounts....I can't believe I said that cause I used to go all out on the blacked out look..but the small amount on my truck I actually think looks good. Now, if I had a gray or red truck it would be another story..

My flame red truck had color matched mouldings that i personnally thought looked better than black. But I pulled them off, too. Definitly a cleaner look imo. by the way I have them if anyone wants them.
