Default New brush guard and black front bumper

Had to get my door fixed at the body shop (stray bullet hole) and figured I'd let them do the front bumper and brush guard. Bought a cheap aftermarket front bumper cover with fog holes because I hated the chrome strip and it was falling off (previous aftermarket accident from my grandfather). Had them match to the fender flares as good as possible.
Pretty happy with finished product. Now to leave chrome grille or replace with all black?



Truck has 2 inch level in front and 1.5 inch add a leaf in back.

ha! I'll be a dissenting vote. I'm a fan of chrome.

It was chrome, but my grandfather had scraped it up pretty good so I scuffed it up with a sander and sprayed it with bedliner in black. It was the stuff at Walmart that had primer built in. It has not peeled off anywhere yet and it has been several months.

Black, along with the gutter guard mod.
