Bull Bar Help!! Poll Inside!

Ok Guys, i been looking for something different on my truck. You think i should put a bull bar on, if so, Powdercoated black (to break up the chrome out front), or Chrome, just to keep the front shiny OR Not even put one on at all...

I have a black Westin Safari bar that i could sell you if you wanted. it's the same thing as a bull bar, but without the skid plate at the bottom. (it'll be posted in the Member's classified's in a little while)

EDIT: here's the link if you're interested...

I say nay, your truck looks clean and putting that on will kill your approach angel and it clutters up the front. But if you do get it go chrome.

I personally don't like chrome, so i'm saying not chrome. If anything, black. But i'm voting nothing. I don't really like those bull bars, and they serve no purpose than looks.
How about a small, top of the bumper mounted baja bar?...in black. I think it would add some attitude. Something like the one in this pic, but just the top bars which mount on top of the bumper, i'm not sure who makes one though.

I say leave the way it is, truck is nice and clean and I think it would take away from the hood... but if you must, go chrome.
