I would say go with what you like, most members will probably say to stay away from chrome but I would say do what you think will look best. Welcome to the forum also!

is that a chrome rear bumber you have..?I agree, I dont like chrome either thats why I dont have any on my truck Even the aluminum wheels I got are getting painted once it warms up. I do think chrome looks pretty good with a red truck though. Kinda compliments the shine.

hey the only reason my back bumper is chrome is because it is bent and I don't want to paint a bent bumper, im thinking about painting my headlights all black, my grill black and just saying screw it and bedliner my back bumper. that way the only chrome will be the little piece of post that used to hold my antenna because i ditched that too.

Im on the anti chrome bandwagon. I just finished gettin rid of all the chrome, now the truck looks good!! OP Id say do what you like, but I think red trucks look awesome with the smoked lenses.. Red and black just go together!
