    When I got mine I went with the chrome look. Then got on here and saw all the blacked out trucks and it made me wanna black mine out. I might do it eventually..but right now I'm broke.

    Classics yes, I couldn't imagine my 69 Ford Torino GT without any chrome. All new vehicles? No. The only reason the Tacoma still has it is because I'm avoiding doing any mods beyond the bull bar. Now if I can replace it with a 4x4...

    Chrome doesn't make it a classic. Black is a fad, every generation has one though. Personally I'd rather go the sport route on my truck and do a paint match. The chrome looks out of place with how few parts have it.

    just got my aries bullbar in stainless steel. looks awesome paired with my SR5 chrome grill suround. if i had the black or color matched suround prob would have went with the black bull bar. too much chrome can get tacky though, esp on a truck.
