Body molding? Need opinions

I've been thinking aboout adding some body molding to my truck. I'm undecided on which would look better; the black, color matched (like the "sport" package has), or the chrome. Any and all thoughts are welcomed and appreciated. Thanks, John

I'd go with paint match if it were me . . . obviousy I'm a fan of paint match though.

I am very happy with my sport.The mouldings do their protective job but don't jump out at you

I think black would go well considering the bumpers, steps and tool box are black.

I'd go black as well...it'd coordinate well with the rest of the truck.

Thanks for all the replies. I realize that the grey or black would look best, but would the chrome be tooooo much? I was thinking that it might break up the color pattern just a bit and of coarse add some 'bling bling'. Thoughts?

NONE looks the best otherwise grey.

You do need to paint the fender flares to match the truck.

Leveling kit maybe.

Save the money from the trim and get smoked clearance lights.

Loose the badges too.

That's just me I think clean is the way to go. I envy you the color of your truck cuz my Pat blue and silver is butt ugly. But it is debadged.

Chrome would look hideous on your truck. Go black.

I'll be the only odd-ball, I would go with the chrome. It will highlight the wheels and the front grill. Seems I am the only chrome guy around.
