Just scroll down through the posts and you"ll see places where you can click on pic's of my truck.... you'll find all kinds of pics.
Kenny, I don't have pics but I have seen several black trucks with minimal chrome, boy do they look sharp! Only reason I don't have black is trying to keep it clean :(
What I mean by minimal chrome is grille, handles, nerf bars and wheels. It seems to be just enough to make the truck sparkle but not enough to take your attention away from the beauty of the black.

Its really personal prefference. Mine is black with chrome grill guard and nerf bars full length. I thought with the truck that big all black it could use a little chrome. Saw an identical truck with all black, grill guard, tool box, nerf bars and even tail pipe painted high temp black and you know what it looked good. I thought about it but don't want to paint my Bilsteins black, so I'll stick with the chrome. Sorry no pic's available at this time.
When you look at bars, be sure to look at Nasta stainless bars. There's nothing better. T-Rex Motorsports http://store.trexmotorsports.com/generally has them at great prices if you're interested. That's where I got my wheel to wheel bars and bed rails. The polished T304 stainless tubing looks really nice on my black GMC crew cab!

I just added ici stainless 304 step tubes to my black 02 and it looks excellent. I was worried about how far they'd stick out and how low but they tucked in nicely and look very cool. They tie in perfectly with the chrome on the truck and are not overdone. 3" , lifetime warranty. Black is more likely to chip then rust, usually not lifetime warr for that reason. Try www.icionline.com
After seeing how good ss bars look I'm really happy I didn't go black. Also got a great price fwiw.
What I liked about the Nasta bars is that you get 100% stainless steel. Even all the mounting hardware is stainless steel, every bracket bolt washer or nut. I don't know of anyone elase that does that.
