Default White VHO needs a new look...poll inside

I am trying to figure which way to go with the appearance of my 2004 WHITE VHO. Engine mods are well underway, and need to make the look match the bite!!

Currently I have only white mirror caps, and white Escalade handles. Stock front & rear end, debadged. Stock white & chrome side moldings. 2"/4" drop is almost finished. I plan on doing a Street Scene SS bumper, white SS grille & rear bumper cover no matter which way I go. I have just recently thought white & chrome don't go so well together.

So, with that in mind, here are my ideas so far:
1. Black accents (black chrome Speed grille inserts) or black powdercoated grille inserts of some sort, remove the side moldings and finally add black American Racing 20's (or similar). Change to white Tahoe handles so there is no chrome.

2. Silver accents (brushed Speed grille inserts or similar), remove the side moldings and and finally add Silver SS wheels. Change to white Tahoe handles so there is no chrome.

Any input? Don't hold back (I know some won't!!)
Thanks in advance.

You already have the better looking front end IMO. I don't have any pics yet, only how it is now.

SC if it was me, I would put a set of black rims with the chrome lip on it, tahoe handles, and billet grille with a roll pan out back to save weight plus it looks better. Your truck looks nice how it is IMO.


BTW you ever get the "problems" worked out with the truck?
