keep the inner/outer grill stock. or wait till the new classic heartbeat steel outer grill comes out. its chrome and ultra awesome. maybe a front roll pan or a chrome bumper

I'm confused?? Are you leaving the flames? If you are, and you are going to paint rims and all, then paint te grill inner, outer etc, also shave and take all chrome off. If your going all solid yellow, I say use chrome grill etc. Yellow and crome looks good, but no chrome on front and only a few chrome pieces in the back half looks cheap IMO. I have seen the grill painted and the outer chrome on a red truck, it looked good, but I think it was the exception that proves the rule. Good enough answer. Ha Ha
Probably didn't help did it?? Shawn

I like the chrome or the factory white. BTW, that's almost the color of yellow my original paint is. I'm thinking about some ghost flames. My wife doesn't like the idea, but then, I won't make her drive it.

Take a pic of the front and have someone photoshop it the options you are considering. Then you will have a better idea of what to do.

Leave the grill and font bumper chrome ! IMO It looks like poop with the grill yellow ! It will look much sharper with the grill and the bumper stock ! Like I said IMO. Your truck looks great other than the yellow grill and bumper. Landon
