Facelift on the 71 GMC...Need opinions.
Just got my clear parking lenses in today and my grill mounted up. My wheels are gunmetal and I had my trim powder coated to match. I am going to be painting the roof, bumpers and grill to match too. Right now they are just in grey primer but my question is this. Will the chrome headlight bezels be a good accent on the front and look cool (which is what I was thinking) or should I paint them grey to match the grill and bumper etc...
I know it will probably vary, but I just wanted a few opinions. Thanks.

Re: Facelift on the 71 GMC...Need opinions.
I like the chrome.
But you could easily find another set of bezels and do them in the other finish, that way you can just swap them and stare at them to decide or just swap as a change of pace from chrome?

I agree.
Chrome bumpers and bezels.

Dang! haha I wasn't expecting that. Chrome bumpers isn't really one of the options...cause they are already painted...

Re: Facelift on the 71 GMC...Need opinions.
Alright well I think im on the right track. Thanks guys. As far as chroming it all...that's gonna be a problem
 Cant afford new bumpers etc...and its wayyyy to expensive to get things chromed!Ill post some pics when I get the bumper mounted up. Its all just primer but it's similar to what it will look like when its all done.

Re: Facelift on the 71 GMC...Need opinions.
I like the chrome as well, but as a option, paint the bumpers and grille white like a lower model, that would look great with the stance and wheels you have.
