    Did you just use black spray paint? Was that center console cup holder "thingy" difficult to remove? How did you do it?

    :confused: Are there people that like chrome? maybe only the people that hate it chime in and there are actually a lot of people that like it. I mean, both of my cars have a plethora (Toyota and BMW) of it.

    I used plastic dip, and center console is vinyl wrap... couldn’t get it removed.

    Some chrome is ok. All black is ugly. But the Toyota cheese wire grill, that is a dumpster fire

    When I was a kid there was no such thing as too much chrome. Chromed pot metal made up half the weight of the car.

    I like a little chrome here and there as long as it's balanced and not overpowering. The chrome on my rear bumper looked out of place to me. I didn't have a problem with the cheese grater but liked the look of the (faux) Pro grille better. Those were the only two places where I had plans to get rid of any chrome. The tailgate emblem all by itself looked a little odd so I added a DU logo on the opposite side to balance it out.
    That said I also like the blacked out look and if I had a 2nd Tacoma it would be blacked out.
    Too much, too little or none at all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
    I personally like the contrast between chrome and paint and about the only place I don't think you can have too much chrome is on a Harley!

    Well brother, I think this might balance your stuff aesthetically ;)

    Balance is the key to life... as they say. You are probably in the majority then since car designers usually try and cater to the majority. I guess that makes me a minority. Which, of course is all the rage these days! :rofl:
