Default Running Boards and Grill

New black running boards (lighted) arriving UPS Friday, hope to get them installed over weekend. Pictures to follow, also black framed Bently style grille has been ordered, no word as to delivery date. I think the black color sets off the Almond (Tan) clearcoat and will match the black fender flares. How much is too much????

I like the idea of black & tan. do the tail lights , too. I wouldn't do the grill frame or headlights, cause you'll be stuck w just the chrome strip on the bumper. You'll probably want some kind of symmetry up there. Black license plate frames.

link to pictures of installed running boards. Wiring to be hooked to interior lights through a relay to come on whenever interior lights are lit.
New black grille to arrive Thursday, to be installed next week-end after wiring is finished.https://cid-03025ab2230d5d53.skydriv...7vd1G*0WUio%24
