I was going to say that, but didn't want to make the chrome guys feel bad

PAINTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

believe it or not the Painted package is the sport package and was far more expensive than the chrome.
Actually, the sport was a few hundred cheaper over the larmine. The larmine has chrome front end, but a lot more chrome accents as well. Also it has a different bumper, not all chrome. Check out the pic, sorry for crappy quality it's my phone cam. My good digi cam broke. ;(

The sport is expensive because it has different options inside. No woodgrain, a carbon fiber type look inside where the woodgrain would be. It also had 20inch chrome rims standerd while mine were an add on. I'm sure theres some other minor stuff.

I vote for painted frontend, like was said before it just looks much sportier,and is still fairly new to trucks. While chrome bumpers have been on trucks forever. A friend of mine has a black truck with chrome bumpers and it looks mismatched. He even admits painted would of looked better. I have a silver sport package, but to each their own!!!

Wow I didnt think my poll would get this much attention heh. It's good to see that there's a variety of likes out there. I think some trucks look better w/ painted [white.. possibly black] but some look way better with chrome [red, blue]. Although if you dont wash your truck a lot.. dirty and hazed chrome looks bad... I cant wait until it gets warm, so I can con my girlfriend into washing my truck in a bikini.. haha..

I have an '05 laramie with chrome, but only because I couldn't find one with the sport package. I prefer the painted bumpers/grill. I keep thinking about changing it to painted, but keep spending the money on other things.

Anyone want to switch? I have a 2005 4x2 red QC with the chrome bumpers and i would much rather the painted ones.

painted!! When I ordered Ramilla I looked at the chrome front end and decided to go with the painted front end becouse it has a billet insert grill. I added a billet fuel cover and all I need is billet door handles and tailgate handle. I think it looks good on a black truck.
