This is what I want to do to my rims and maybe grill when I get my black '12 I like the gray rims like on the COD edition.

I have the COD rims and love the color! It's what color I'll be doing for my grill mod.

This is why you shouldn't get a black Jeep.

More seriously, I agree with those who say that silver (if by that we really mean chrome) says "mall crawler". But, black doesn't have to all match. There is also texture (the aforementioned bedliner), as well as luster (flat, glossy, etc). You can use that to break up all of that black and still keep it black if you want. Just food for thought--even more seriously, this is truly why I wouldn't buy a black Jeep unless I meant to go with a stealth look.

Looks good! Not mall crawler at all if you ask me.
