    You could color match it - makes it look less obtrusive. 3rd gen grill is too big, IMO. Cheap and easy to do.

    I think real chrome on classic old trucks looks cool but the chrome plastic just looks super tacky and cheap to me

    Did this about a month ago, zero issues. Used up 1 whole can of black, and half a can of clear gloss to get rid of the matte.

    Looking good! Did you remove the plastic step parts on the top, or just mask them off? I'm worried about breaking them by trying to remove.

    Nice, was thinking the same. I'm going to hit mine with self etching prime and bed liner spray soon~ish. Will post pics afterwards.
