Going to stay with chrome. Match the trim, mirrors, and door handles/locks.

Have you seen the hollow pin deutsch connector kits on amazon? I bought one and I was impressed. It uses a standard crimper (not the barrel crimp, which is technically better), and they are waterproof. I wanted to share as I thought you may be interested for future projects.

Thanks for the info, I put those connectors in my saved lists on Amazon. Those are not butt connectors however, those are the heat shrink solder connectors that are also water resistant. You heat them with a heat gun and it melts a little band of solder around each wire, then there are 2 rings at each end of connector that shrink tight and seal the wires. After they cool then are super solid, can't pull them apart.
