Adding Chrome to Lightning option?

[JRT]

I'm not a big mono color truck fan, I really wish more integrated chrome was on this truck. I drove a reg range antimatter blue this weekend and can't wait for my ER to show up in it. My son and I agree a few areas need dress up.

1) Grill, needs chrome center accent, anyone do this yet?
2) mirrors need to be chrome, I added chrome caps to my Ram Big Horn, looking for options and pics again
3) chrome handles would be a nice pop
4) chrome skins on the bumpers, looking for ideas a d pics.

I know, probably dumb, but I've always like the chrome on trucks, anyone else looking to dress up the lightning with some show chrome?

This is weird, I was just thinking about this yesterday when I saw my neighbor drive by with his Platinum. I think it would be easy enough to do the mirror caps and handles as they are available already. I don't know about he tailgate application, maybe one like on the Platinums? Should be cool to see your progress! I don't know about the bumpers ... maybe an OEM set of wheels would add some pop?

I have the opposite opinion. I am not a fan of Chrome. I prefer the body-colored mirrors and handles. In previous cars, I have swapped out chrome pieces for body-colored or black to dress it up. Each to their own. I do respect your opinion to modify your truck to your taste. Can't wait to see your progress.

For the grille I would probably just take it to a reputable vehicle wrap shop. They should be able to get the look you are going for.

The mirror caps and door handles are interchangeable with 2021+ gas F-150s, so you may be able to find chrome ones through online parts stores.

I’m not sure if the front/rear bumper is interchangeable, but can be wrapped if needed.

Finding the real chrome parts for the handles and mirrors might last a bit longer, but could be more expensive than wrapping. One benefit to wrapping is it’s reversible so if you sell the truck, the new owner could remove the wrap to return to the stock look if desired.

Be sure to post pics if you go through with it - chromes not my cup of tea but curious what it’ll look like when it’s done
