brushed or billet?
« on: November 12, 2007, 04:39:56 pm »
i've never been to big a fan of chrome and since i wanna do something that you dont see every day on show squarebodies im thinking about going with the brushed look on all the metal that wont be painted such as the wheels, small trim, and underhood accesories. i see ALOT of billet on these trucks but it seems like its always polished... and the more i look at the brushed bezels in my truck the more i wonder how good the other stuff would look brushed... what do you guys think. polished or brushed

brushed could be a cool look...it's cool to go "against the grain" sometimes

I'd have to agree.....brushed would be a nice fresh look(not like everyone else's ride).  sounds like that's what you are trying for anyway.
