    My white Limited is coming with the package that includes the black oval tube steps. I saw a MG off road today that had the chrome tube step that looked pretty Damn good.

    Wonder if the chrome step would look better on a white limited due to the chrome mirrors and door handles?

    Thoughts?

    Yes...definitely matching chrome..

    I am wondering what would look good on white...I had Chrome on my 15 but black may look better....I am going aftermarket on these. Nothing I want is available after market yet. Maybe the runners are the same mount as the gen 2?

    Been searching through the pics on here and can't find any white 2016s with the Oval steps.

    Really thinking chrome would look better.

    I think either option will work. Black always looks good, and chrome will match the chrome already on there. I don't think you can go wrong either way.

    People either love chrome or they hate it. Personally, I can't stand it.

    I find the tube steps just get in my way. Do you like the looks or the functionality? Just wondering. If it is looks I really like the predator tube steps. If it's functionality then the full length ovals are probably better as you can step wherever you want

    I hear that. Tough choice. I. Can't imagine either one looking bad. White and black is nice. I've had problems with chrome ones rusting, but they were aftermarket.

    Depends on your taste. Some hate chrome. I think it's all right. Just hate chrome looking plastic. If you live in a salt free zone then chrome is awesome. In the Midwest I prefer the black due to salt, and calcium chloride treatments. Even though factory steps last longer in the winter you still see little spots and it will drive you nuts.

    It wipes right off, but just the fact that those little orange spots show up is frustrating.

    Btw, Harleys have chrome. But it's metal and that's cool
