Now one more, the black tires & black wheels clash w/the bright white & the new graphics. Chrome silver or even dull aluminum painted upon those steelie's will eliminate this & liven up the scene. Yes, these are my opinions & not a formal critique of what should or should not be.

Good morning,
Are you not meant to be in bed, sleeping?
I see you are in Iowa, we may be back there again in August or September.
Thank you for the replies and posting up the examples.
I prefer the look of the pre-egg crate grill, but also liked the second one, but being offered a new in the box grille for $50.00 vs LMC $40.00 price, with a friend collecting it...... works for me.
The billet grille fitted on it is in need of refurbishing, it was also painted black at some point, and the previous owner cleaned most of that off.
The wheels are an interesting option that can be edited often as one wants.
Before getting the stainless steel trims the plan was black Centre and Silver Hammerite paint around the edges.
The current black steels to me makes the chrome look more shiny or contrasts, but I will look for pics with silver steelies to see what that looks like.
I love advice, chat, observations on here because I know so little, so happy for any input.
