Default Help me decide, Black or Chrome nerf bars

Hey guys, I bought my truck about 3 weeks ago and my wife is bugging me to put nerf bars on cause she is too short to get in. The problem is that I can't decide on what color bars to get. And do any of you have suggestion of the better brand. Here is a picture of my truck.

For a lighter colored truck like yours, I'd def. go chrome. It will compliment the rims, headlights, foglights, emblems, and your offroad hella's(behind your grill). Black would look kind of cheap on a nice truck like yours. Westin is the best brand in my opinion, but they are spendy. Whatever you do, don't go to the dealer and buy them from there(See 80% markup), lol.

Yep, go chrome! Ive got chrome on my white truck and it would just look to different IMO, to have black. And if you decide to change your mind you could always paint the chrome ones black.

I don't think you could go wrong with either. But personally, I'd go chrome...

yep, seeing that the only black you have are your grips and handles, I'd go chrome.

It seems like everyone likes the chrome...Thats kind of what I was leading towards too, however I was also thinking about doing the blacked out headlight mod with the halos and wasn't sure if the black nerf bars would help compliment that or not. I still think the chrome might look better either way. Thanks for the advice

I wouldn't put black headlights on your truck, it looks better with clear's. If you get halos, make sure they are LED and not cold cathode. The cold cathode's look better but flicker and burn out.

If you go black, look at these. You'll be able to see the road still, vs. projector headlights where you can see nothing.
