    The only thing I'd change on the front of your truck is the bow-tie.

    Paint the bowtie white with a dark-blue outline/stripe. Leave the chrome on the center bar and front bumper. It looks sharp!

    I would like to get rid of my black painted bumper for a chrome one. it has a lot of rock chips and I want chrome because I'm not doing the blacked out scheme.

    painted bumpers suck on a truck that gets driven. No amount of hardener or anything can prevent all the stone chips that will happen in no time. They look great on show trucks though.

    I have one chip on mine which is pretty suprising. Luckily I have a small bottle of touch up paint I use though for the chips
