I was bored so I clean the bumpers. Front grill was painted black at one time. There are still traces of black paint. I slightlly polished the grill also. I dont want any bling bling look on my truck but I kinda like it polished. What do you guys think should I polish it completlly or not?

For sure polish it. It would look wierd painted black IMO with the stock appearance your truck is now.

EDIT: I just noticed the cab lights on yours. I like those, but I am bias and have em on mine to.
Is yours a 1/2 ton?

I believe it's a 1/2 ton. Truck is a Canadian built so maybe that's a reason for the lights.
I used a harbour freight buffer and left over polishing pad. I never used that pad before because it's to rough but it works good for polishing. I used a turtle chrome polish. I did one hub cap and emblem also. Very little time was spend. I will do it some more later.
