    Thanks, if you are on the fence about doing it I would recommend it. Silver/Blue/White and black all look awesome.

    Removed that stupid "Sport Bumper Trim"
    Been wanting to do this for a while but I have the silver sport wheels and don't trust spray painting the wheels black. Anyone know if it looks good on silver taco without black wheels (and with chrome steps)?

    The blacked out badges look good. Thinking about it but not sure how it would be on a Pyrite Tacoma.

    I did use a flat black spray paint so at times they appear a little more dark gray than I'd prefer but I like how discreet they are. You only see 'em if you're looking for 'em!
