Wow, I like the covers you found! Hope they can resolve the chrome plating issues. I'd buy them in a second!

There is such a thing as too much chrome.. I'm tryin to black most of it out... But i think the covers will be way too much... And i also agree... the new tail lamp designs are dumb... Should have left them alone...

I am not a real big fan of the newer taillights on the Rams. They look like Chevy's to me. Just don't *flow* with the lines of the truck, IMHO.

Sharpshooter: Please, please PLEASE don't put chrome covers on your truck. I know it's your vehicle to do what you want with, but man... that thing looks perfect just as it is in your picture. And for the LOVE OF GOD, no chrome gas cap covers! [:-]

Seriously, though, I think your truck looks damn good as it is. Very classy and not overdone with every accessory in the JC Whitney catalogue!

ha ha its funny you said that, The picture I have is a few months old and I havent had the chance to take any new ones, I have since taken off the nerf bars and added a billet gas cap...prolly the one you were suggesting not to add, but I think it looks pretty good. Ill take some more recent pics of the truck once I get a chance to giver her a bath

I actually like chrome accents on a monotone truck, but I also agree that someguys outthere get a tad carried away. A few here and there catch the eye and provide a nice color contrast, but as Chet Ubetcha saidas long as the ride is "...not overdone with every accessory in the JC Whitney catalogue!"

I was considering picking up the chrome door handles and some nerf bars, but the handles must get hellishly hot in the South Florida Summer Sun! That and the fingerprints and smudging on the suckers must get annoying at times!.

The gas cap is an option, but I'll hold off on aesthics pending a few functional mods for right now.

Great looking truck Sharpshooter! Not overdone, just right in my opinion.

My 2 cents

If you like chrome put it on.

Doesn't matter if you buyevery thingJCW offers or a high end detail shop.

I will not judge you for it, because it is Your Truck and if You like it, then thats what really matters.
When I go outside and see my truck I think man, that sure isa purdy truck.

I used to have the attitude"They Hate it, so We Like it!" But I'm older now and a little more mellow hehe.

Just be happy like Pappy.
