Default Chrome or Painted Front End?

Just curious what most people think? I am personally a fan of the Chrome front end, my old Ram was chrome front end and I loved it. Right now, my new truck is chrome in the front too, my girlfriend's is painted, but she hates it like that [her parents bought it for her though.. or else she'd have a hemi too =P]


I will put up a better comparison pic soon.

Hm, I wonder where this idea came from. I voted chrome. If I said anythin' else I'd get busted for a repost.

I like the chrome look as well, I just got myelf a 05 Flame Red with the chrome front end and it looks sick... the only color i think looks best with the colored front end is black on black with a set of black rims would look sick...IMO

You should see stealth's ram. That thing is damn sweet! What I would do if I had some spare cash. Lift, black rims and everythin'. We got the chrome front. Looks great!

Chrome alll the way. My Motorcylcle has so much chrome it usually takes me at least 2 hours to clean her up. But it is worth it. Same for the truck. Nothing looks sexier at night than the chromed out Ram, especially against my bright silver paint. I spent lots of money on the bike for chrome and now I am trying to figure out how to hide some pieces on the Ram so everyone else can see but the wife. She busted me putting on the Billet Grille. I was on the last bolt when she rolled up in the drive way (DAMN) now I am back on the no Ram parts budget. (End Rant Here) Any way I digress. Yes Chrome.[sm=bling.gif]

I voted chrome as well, but have you seen the new Night Runner edition? Looks pretty sweet!

I voted painted, only because my 05 black qc hemi, came with the painted bumpers. There wasn't many 05's on the lot to choose from, but I think I would choose chrome now - seems to shine more on a black truck, make it stand out more. Right now my black truck may look a little dull as it is dirty 24x7

Plan on tinting the windows and getting a new exhaust that should make it sparkle a little more, but other than that <shrug>

I can't vote either way. I think both ways look great. It just depends on the individual effort of each owner. I have chrome and polished aluminum all over mine, but I can also visualize it with painted parts also.
