Flat Black Look vs. Chrome Look

Here is me dilemma. I am about finished sanding my truck and going to get it painted (black) this week (I will try to post some before and after photos) but now I am wondering what look I want to go for since I will have a "clean slate". I love chrome and how it looks, but I like the flat clean black look as well. Black is just really stealthy looking to me. Plus, everyone around me is doing the chrome deal and I want it to look different. Can anyone do some convinving one way or the other for me? Pros/Cons of each?

I'm already starting to plan my next upgrade and need some help. With 409k I am really skeptical to add much power to it, and I don't tow much at all anyways. So I am thinking maybe a lift kit and some good sized tires? Suggestions anyone?

I like the way chrome looks too...when it's clean...without chrome, you would spend less time polishing to make your truck look good.

with black, chrome is the way. Just look at all of those black and chrome harleys. It really sets off the reflection in the black. I like the flat black along with white or some brighter colors. It helps them look brighter.

black ,black and more black. Every truck and car ever made is chrome. I like the look of black accessories, to me it's different. Options are limited but I love blacking something out that someone else has chrome. It's more of a challenge to go black....

there's my fight for black...

no, no, all you do is black, the only chrome I would put is one of the new C emblems on the side, and the chrome DODGE emblems from the new trucks on it. thats what I did with mine. its not black though. I junked my chrome mirrors for some black ones, and all I got left is the chrome grille. im waiting for it to fall off to get a black one.
