I may do everything but side molding from brothers and get the side molding from mar-k.

Here is your answer, this looks sweet with the trim.

Definitely the grille rings and tail light bezels, and tailgate chrome peices too. The tail light bezels change the whole look of the back of the truck. I personally wouldn't do the side mounding switch that beautiful red paint you have, but to each his own. Chrome is one of those things, you can make the whole look with juuuust the right amount. Remember, you could start with grille peices and tail lights bezels and see how you like it, then add more later if you want

I gotta vote for trim on the grill and taillights. Nothing else. Just My 2 Cents. bout all it's worth too.
here's how mine looks with and without trim.

your truck, do what you like.

I love the look of the trim but here's a question. I see your grill has the holes and a recess for the rings. The holes I can drill but I don't have any recess what so ever. Do the rings have to have the recess. I don't want them sticking out looking like crap

They built my grill up to be smooth big time. I will post pictures shortly. I just hope the grill hoops with still look ok. Here's a truck identical to mine other than wheels.

My opinion is grill hoops and side trim. Leave the hood lip and fender brows off. I think that they look best with a white grille. Hood letters would look good too. And for sure the taillight bezels and upper tailgate molding. As far as the grill hoops looking right with the smother grille your just have to test fit them on there. Very nice truck!!!

Does anyone have any close up pictures of the back side of a grill hoop. I am needing to see how flat it is

I think you could stop without the side trim (these are just random observer opinions, taken them for what they're worth). That'd be easier and you could do it later if you chose to, it wouldn't be silly to have just the front and back done.
