Re: how about a "SHINY" shop truck ?

I just think a black truck needs some bling...gotta have some chrome, but tastefully done. Bumpers, front and rear.....mirrors, too. The chrome trim for the grille would dress it up. Vette-style rallye wheels, with caps and trim rings (hot rod style) with wheels painted a contrasting color....apple green? A slight drop 2.5/4.0 or maybe a little more...3.5/5.0. Keep the wheel diameter less that/equal to 17", but I'm thinking 15's would have more of a retro look. If you don't want to use the rallye wheels, just throw on some smoothies and bald center caps with rings and some 2 1/2-inch white walls. Still the wheels need to be painted a constrasting color...apple green; rallye red; chrome yellow...not a silver or argent shade. Blue wouldn't work, either. Maybe a chartreuse....like I said, black needs some bling, but not too much or it will be all about the bling, not the black.
