Some punk kids, like me, think chrome is for old people....and we prefer the all paint thing. That's just my way of looking at it.[/QUOTE]

If it makes any difference...uh.....my 71 chevy has chrome everywhere. But then again...everything is real chrome and who really thinks a monochromatic 71 chevy stepside looks good? lol.

BTW, Ford does still use "real" chrome from the factory. Now the cheap replacement parts the body shop puts on, thats a different story.

On Mazdas, they call having everything painted "Monochromatic" and it's a no-cost option on the B-series. I've got chrome and I love it. It's just personal preference.

I think it really depends on the color. Like peopel said DSG and chrome don't look to hot but black or yellow like your chebby look awesome.

wow this is simple. if u dont like it, dont buy it. its all opinion

I think crome is really ugly on the smaller trucks, looks good on a fullsize. I like my matching bumpers and flares (I just don't like how the flares discolored)

sometime i wish i had the chrome bumper, but thats the only change i'ld make on my edge. i think the mono colour is best.

i need to get my machined wheel replaced with black steelies and rock the blacked out look

Ford had, and still has, this whole "monochromatic" themes going on with certain trim levels.....EDGE came out as a "sport" pkg, much like the Sport, much like the Splash.

sorry, i don't know what the hell i was thinking. upper front is painted, lower is grey textured. rear's painted.

DSG = dark shadow gray, otherwise known as the ugliest paint color the ranger comes with.















































j/k! lol

madman4049 07-16-2008 03:00 AM

Oh ok mine's red and I can't stand it. Wish I had gotten it with a more subtle color. Truck stands out in the woods like a signal flare.

Let me correct you....Sonic blue.

Now.....lets not start this again. lol. No color threads people...pleasefor the love of god...no color threads.



Yea...the most common color abbreviations i see are DSG and DWB. DSG has been already answered....DWB is Deep Wedgewood Blue.

That's all I want to do is put the chrome bumpers on and I really like that front grille on your truck but too much money for somethin that ain't broke.
