    Where's the "brushed metal" option for those of us that think chrome is too flashy and black looks bad?

    Flat metallic is where it's at.

    I put down chrome for wheels, but I really wanted polished aluminum and chrome was the closest choice. Black for everything else; bumper, sliders, door handles, mirrors, etc... on Silver Mica it's definitely looking nice. :cool:

    Black is cool!! Everybody's doin it. Come on man (peer pressure peer pressure):D

    It def looks badass on the silver. It really brings out the color. I think chrome is just a little flashy. But that doesn't mean much commin from me since I have one of the brightest colored trucks on the road. Good luck.

    Hey guys! So since this is a black vs Chrome thread, can I get your opinions?

    What do you think would look better on my 09 Pyrite Mica Taco, black or chrome?
