thanks!
I would normally say colormatched, but since you're keeping the chrome nerf bars, I think you should get chrome mirror caps, keep the chrome front bumper, but color match the upper bumper cap and lower valance Almost forgot...chrome door handles with color matched handle buckets.

Good luck with the new ride!!

i like this idea, only thing is i will probably leave the mirrors alone since i have those clamp on mirror extensions for towing my camper that would cover them up anyway.
