All,

I am ordering a ram limited in billet silver with the 22 inch wheels. I have always been a white truck guy but saw the billet silver in person and fell in love with the color. I have always been a painted bumper guy as well but sometimes when I see the billet silver limiteds with the painted bumpers I feel it needs a little bit more of a pop and feel the chrome bumpers do that. BUT I also can't decide if that "cheapens" up the look of a limited. I see one pic where the painted bumpers look awesome and one pic of when they dont and same with the chrome bumpers.

Unfortunately I dont have the opportunity to see these trucks side by side so wanted your opinion. And yes at the end of the day I know its what I like best but still value ya'lls opinion.

Thoughts??

yea, Silver is one color I think Chrome bumpers looks good on, any another color I would say color matched. If painted then you need to have PPF installed keep the rock chips from destroying it.

I love color matched silver bumpers, which is why I’ve had two 5th gen rams with that.

Chrome bumper for me. Not having to deal with the inevitable paint chips was the deciding factor. Would do it the same way again.

I actually am not a big fan of the paint matched bumpers. IMO it cheapens the look of the truck. Just looks like cheap plastic parts to me. I think paint matched is a sportier look and chromed is a more Luxury look. Just my opinion (which has changed over the years).

Old man chrome


Painted FTW!


But u need to factor in having PPF applied so your paints not getting rockchipped up
