Let the pictures talk..

I think you'll be happy with either. My truck has the gray bottom like the second pic, but I've been looking at it for the last 6 years now, so I'm ready for a change as well. I think the white would look good, but the grey would be easier to pull off without having to worry about blending the new white to the old white.

Still white! You "want a change", all whites a huge change and looks proportional. Pic 2 not so much with chrome bumpers and it's just a shade darker than what you have. I'd also leave the handles all white when you ptm them, no chrome pulls, looks more current and clean IMO. No more chrome please.

I've got decent chrome tow hooks and textured oem driver door handle w/keypad, pass handle and tailgate handle. Also a like new tailgate handle with chrome pull.

On his truck, I'd just stick with ptm white handles/bezels. Bringing chrome to anything other than the handles themselves will look tacky. I've never seen a single one of our trucks that I thought looked good with those chrome bezels on the doors/tailgate. It starts looking like a Mexican Autozone special.
