Default Opinions on what to do w/ the truck?

2007 white 1500 QC 2WD 4.7 V8 SLT lone star. (have the 20" wheels)
its all stock besides the stereo system. i was thinking of using some plastidip on the wheels, chrome bumpers, and remove my running boards. once i need new tires id get a level kit. i researched but couldnt find whether or not plastidip is fine on chrome. i know someone on here used it on the wheels but will it come off without damaging the finish?

now for the opinions.

1. keep the truck stock and get some 18" chrome rims when i can, a level, and 35's.

2. paint the bumpers solid white (no chrome) paint or plastidip wheels black and remove running boards

3. Save up for a sport bumper and paint the chrome piece black or plastidip it, paint the rear bumper black or white, and plastidip the wheels

4. leave the front bumper half white but paint/plastidip the chrome black. paint the rear bumper black or plastidip it and plastidip the wheels.

oh and if i did the black/white theme then i would paint.plastidip the front grill as well and probably the badges. if i go white/chrome then the grill would be the same

Option one man. You get more visual appeal for less dollars.

I think all white will look good. Mirrors, handles, and bumpers

either smoke your head lights or tail lights or at least go with the chrome clear corners for head lights they are like the stock ones but instead of orange reflecter its clear if you do that get chrome tail lights too i personally like the look of 02 - 06 taillights better than 07 im not a fan of them bubbling out but thats IMO

^i hope youre joking about white wheels haha. yah white steps would look cool too.

^^i hate the bubbling out tails...but i like it cuz it seperates it from the 06 model haha. on my bimmers i got clear corners and ive wanted to with the truck...but switching out corners on the bimmers was as easy as 60 bucks and 10 minutes. truck seems harder. do i have to get new headlights or are there inserts?
