Not sure, but it would seem to me that you'll see all the scrapes and gouges out of the white one, while those would hardly be visible on the black one. My vote went to keepin'er black!

Seatbelt chime turned off, Toyota bedmat, Wet Okoles, stock other than that.

I have given serious thought to buying an OEM off road skid plate and having it painted black but having "TRD" show through in the middle of the skidplate.
