The mirrors look great body color. I still think the whole bumper painted the body color will look cool. I can't find anything that matches your color combo but here is what I have found.


Not exactly the same color combo but the theme is there.

What do you have against chrome? Chrome is your friend. Without chrome no cars or trucks could have been built. Chrome rules

Anyway.... what does it take to paint over chrome? Just in case

Yeah I somehow thought sanding would be involved. I have this strange aversion to sanding. Well sanding didn't sound bad... its that sand and sand some more that sounds ominous.

Did I mention how cool chrome was ?

So you like chrome??? What's with the painted wheels? j/k
I like the shiny stuff too but the rollpan and painted rims says colormatch would complete the theme you may be looking for. Either way the truck looks cool and has something about it that works in an unconventional kind of way. I'm sure it will look good no mater what you choose.
