Putco Chrome Accessories

Hey, has anyone ever used the Putco Chrome accessories on their Tacoma?

I'm thinking of getting the finishers for the mirrors.

 

Just don't get those fake vents

 

Wasn't planning to... don't like how they look...

just the mirror and door handles I was thinking about.


Was wondering if the hilux mirror and door handles would work....Hmmmm

 

Does anyone have close up pics of the door handles and mirrors?

Thanks

 

One thing i noticed was that alot of people on the forum dont like the chrome look. me depends on the truck. but good luck finding someone on this forum with them.

 

I agree it depends on the truck.

I'm planning on getting a black double cab with the TRD off road package.

I currently have a black hilux and the chrome door handle and mirrors give a nice contrast to the black. Its not overdone with chrome.

Also... I'm trying to figure out if the hilux handles and mirrors would work on the tacoma.

Thanks for the input.

 

I have the door handels and the mirror covers and i love them on my truck.

 

eww chrome.

 

Did you use the putco ones?

 

Yupp. i just didnt knw how well they would stick but with that 3M tape they come with i havent had any problems so far. And i have had them almost a year.

 

i just dont like the idea of installing something on my truck with tape that is suppose to last the life of the truck..

and if something is chrome.. it shouldn’t also be plastic.. My $0.02

 

+1

 

damn i am half tempted to get them and have them painted same color as my truck

 

Is anyone in the DC area?

I'll be visiting next week (from tomorrow actually) and might bring my hilux mirror cover to determine if it'll work on the tacoma door mirrors.

Thanks

 

Wouldn't that kind of be like having a fake hoodscoop?...

 

^^ nope...

Its a chrome cover, so instead of the black mirror... it'll be chrome.

 

Just kidding. Adding perspective for others if you will...

Do what you want. It is your truck. I think chrome accents can look fine on many trucks.

Just don't paint your body panels and/or rims with black bedliner...

 

All i'm planning to "chrome" are the door handles and door mirrors. This is how my hilux has it currently and I like that look.

 

fake hood scoop/fake vents...same thing.

 

I don't usually like chrome but I think on a black truck what you're doing will look good.
