Blacked - done or bull bar?

My son and I have been working on blacking out the RAM to his taste. I'm an old school chrome guy but I have to say this black stuff has grown on me. I'm posting a few pix below. I thought about plasti dipping the grill but I'm not sure I'd like it. Am thinking about pulling the inserts and rattle canning those black though. Other than that, we are basically done but can't decide if we want to add a small bull bar (black) on the front. I'm talking about the small one that bolts underneath and loops up and over just in front of the bumper to about the bottom of the grill. My son says it won't look right unless the truck is lifted more. But if that happens, it will be on his dime - I like it how it is.
We have done the following:
Leveled the front and installed black moto metal 951's 17" with Terra Grapplers
Tinted driver and passenger windows to 30% (supposed to be 35% but they were recently tested and found to be too dark to be legal - oh well)
Plasti-dipped all of the badges
Black lockable gas filler door
Smoked license plate cover
Replaced tails with LED's with black trim with matching 3rd brake light
Replaced headlights with stock style black trimmed lights
Swapped out stainless steel nerfs for black powder coated nerfs
Here are some pix after I finally washed the post-snow salt and slime off:
