Should I get the chrome housing with smoked lense?

Or...should I get black housing, chrome buckets with clear lense and corners...

I am 75% set on the black housing ones...and will be buying Saturday morning as soon as the check hits the bank!

Damn, they both look good. But, I think the smoked ones would "disappear" more.

I'm holding my vote until I look at them again.

I like the smoked lens look. Especially on that truck.

I HATE amber corners worse than I hate the noles.

I can get the Smoked lens ones with clear corners too...don't worry though, there will be no amber corners on either set I go with.

I don't think this poll is helping you, Adam, considering you were leaning heavily towards the non-smoked ones. LOL. Sometimes it's hard to make a decision on a mod. You know I've been going through the same thing trying to decide on a new HU. LOL

It only makes sense to go smoked.. It is SMOKEDRAM, so it'd almost be a sin not to go that way! Lol

I think my pendulum is starting to sway more towards the smoked lens ones.

Just thinking that your chrome bumper might stick out like a sore thumb with the blacked out lights and grille inserts, and the grille shell being color matched.

That being said, put a color-matched sport bumper cover on your mod list. :D

thats the position i was in, then the wheels stick out cause they are chrome....the list goes on and on...adam if your buying new lights, i would buy some clear vinyl and cover them, im gonna do this so they dont discolor....

I think the wheels rear bumper and front bumper all tie in really well

Yeah, I don't think it would look that bad...hell, I could always skip out on painting the crosshairs and leaving them chrome...just so there's chrome above the bumper.

Plus, it seems like I can find deals for everybody else on Craigslist, but when it comes to something I am looking for, I can;t find shit...LOL...

Joe actually said he would trade me bumpers, and it would be a good deal, if I had the money NOW to get it painted to match the truck.

I know the feeling when it comes to cl deals. No Chrome cross...
