    I think I would prefer paint...Wondering if anyone attempted to remove the tape and if it is painted underneath?

    Why does it matter if its vinyl or painted? Tundra's have had the vinyl between the windows since 07, dont really see it causing any problems...

    Because he likes the look of it painted vs vinyled. I think it looks good either way.

    Don't remove the vinyl, it will void the warranty!

    Is that something that they'll actually do for you if requested? I've always done it myself once pulled onto my driveway. Probably trust myself way more than I would with those guys. Last thing I would want is damaged paint and having to take it into a real a body shop to paint panels before I get to take the truck home.

    What is the purpose for the B pillar tape? Is it only aesthetic?

    OIC. Your white TRD looks great without them. I may just do the same.

    Now I know why I liked the look of the access cab better it doesn't have the black tape on the B pillar.
