    Now I'm running black accessories:

    I'm sticking with Black :D

    depends on your color of truck though, I voted black for everythin but if my truck were sand meca (2nd gen) of the Champaign (1st gen) or white I'd go chrome but most any other color just stick to black.

    I went with a chrome bumper and grill surround on my TRD Sport.
    I'm not a fan of chrome wheels,though.

    Blackety black & won't go back...........^^^^^^^^diggin the rocker panel black strip connecting the wheel flares. Also, those who've black'd out headlights, are you tempted like me to paint the trim strip under the lights black or just leave it body color?
