Awwwww.......I love a little CHROME. Just a little though. Besides chrome
means America.....you know the old 50's cars and trucks with all the bright
chrome bumpers and grills and tailfins and mirrors and shifters and baby
moons...ok....maybe too much is bad. I bought a SLT because it had a little
chrome.....and everyone has either a red, white, or, black Sport
Dakotas.....Mine is Metallic Red. I am, however, in the process of changing
the front fascia and rear bumper trim plates from the grey colored plastic
to painted ones that match the body color.(real pain to do this...they have
to order new ones for me)

I agree with Jodi. Jason and I both dislike chrome on our vehicles. His
'95 looks great with just white and the black bumpers. My '98 looks great
all black and the dark windows. Also of course, we do get ours dirty (mud)
quite a bit, so who wants to polish chrome? Not I! Chrome does look good
on the SLT, but just wouldn't suit our lifestyle. I still think it's
personal preference and what you use your vehicle for.
A friend of mine had an SLT a few years ago and complained to no end that he
was getting rust spots were appearing all over his chrome. I'm no expert,
but it was relatively new and only went through one winter. I told him to
take it back to the dealer. I never did find out what happened to his truck
as I moved back to Toronto.
