OP you could at least tell us what color your truck is. I just bought a set of pre-painted victory red mirror caps for $70, but they were one of the last sets in the country since they have been discontinued. They had been sitting in a dealership somewhere for 5 years when I bought them.

-1 for hating chrome, I like a little if it is balanced.

I also like color matched trucks and have done a few in the past with out chrome, maybe I am getting old!!!

This is a perfect illustration of chrome/color balance. Nice.

Is that the HD grille on a non HD truck? I want that grille but thought that you needed to swap over the bumper too as it sits lower or something.

yes thats the HD grill on a non HD front. you don't need the whole bumper just the top plastic cover and you need to lower the bumper a little.

that is still a full HD grill, not just the chrome piece. look at the diamond grill instead of rectangles like the 1500s have
