if your thinking of using your grill and making it black. youll need to sand blast the chrome. i went thru 2.5 bags of sand just on the chrome strip for the HD grill

I agree with pretty much everyone. Black all the way. Nothing black but the rims.

Thanks buddy. Yeah I want to smooth and paint the handles and the bumper cap. I wonder if that's easy to do. Guess I'll post up...

smoothing the bumper cap will be a pain in the ass. i did my door handles and it was a pain. i ended up just hitting them with filler primer and sanding that down, easier. but yea i still would do it if i were you, it would definitely look good.
