Too much Chrome?

I just installed a chrome grill and chrome bugshield. I like the way it looks but was wondering what my fellow Titan owners think.

Re: Too much Chrome?

I like paint rather than chrome. So, naturally, I think you have too much chrome. Maybe a glossy black powdercoated expanded-metal grill insert would contrast well with the OEM chrome front end.

Re: Too much Chrome?

I think it looks good. I'm partial to the chrome/stainless look as my SE has alot of it. I have the Lund Intercepter bug shield and chrome nerfs.

Re: Too much Chrome?

I have to admit, I like chrome accents, too. It sets off a vehicle - unless of course, you're going for the mono-color look. That looks good, too, if it's done right.

I went with the Lund stainless steel bugshield, but opted for the powdercoated black tube grille to contrast the chrome grille surround. My truck is Galaxy Black, so it looks pretty cool, in my opinion, anyway. Stainless steel bull bar and Lightforce lights get put on this weekend (hopefully).

I also added the stainless steel tailgate trim and some stainless steel taillight guards, so the back is covered as well.

I'm looking at adding a little stainless to the sides by getting the lower trim strips that cover the factory rub strips on the lower part of the doors. It's not too much and it will break up the solid black view from the side.

Pics soon. Washed it last night and it's raining today...

Re: Too much Chrome?

yea see i had the same exact concern, bc i have an 06 CC smoke titan, and i have the chrome front grill, and wondered if i got the chrome bug deflector if it would be too much. i couldnt find a pic of someone on here with the same color truck and front end set-up, so i went ahead and ordered the tinted deflector. I figure if i really dont like it, or see the chrome on a smoke titan with the chrome grill and like that better i can always give the tinted deflector to my mom for her armada.

Re: Too much Chrome?

i like it a lot. i think it would look better if the bumper and grill(not the insert) was painted.
