Seeking side molding suggestions

Which one looks better on a blue taco? Painted original, black or chrome?

 

chrome is never the answer

 

I do tend to rule that out first. A picture will definitely help a lot. The thing is all the vendors I found are online. And for some reason, they show white, silver, red, black much more than blue.

 

there are some blacked out swb on here and they look great, i think white and blue look this best blacked out out of our color choices, just pops more

 

Color matched is the way to go

color matched does look better and now i know what u were talking about, oops

 

Here is mine it sure helps with door dings when you go to the store.
I have the toyota factory molding.

 

that color is sweet

 

Looks good But I still prefer the color-matched style

 

I think color matched is safer. Black only looks better when the quality of the material is good.

P.S. You signature is very cute.

 

Thanks man its a little different.

 

Yours looks great!

So the factory black molding have a better texture quality than others?

My major concern for black is that a plain rubber molding without polymer-like texture gonna look really cheap ...

 

Check out the ones from toyota go see it in person I think you would like the quality.

 

Does toyota offer side moldings for tacomas? I don't even know that. So I should stop by a dealer for it?

 

My opinion, the stock base black side moulding wouldn't look too good on your speedway blue truck.

 

My wife said so too. I'm red/green color deficiency so I never had much confidence in judging how something looks. I tend to agree with your opinion.

I find only one vendor selling color matched side moldings for 2nd gen tacoma. They are on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Painted-Body-Moulding-for-05-09-TOYOTA-TACOMA-Side-Trim_W0QQitemZ120367482259QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item1c06760593&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A1171 . Anyone had any experience with this vendor? $150 per pair is kinda expensive ...

 

Stevie, I searched your old posts and you mentioned that you bought your color matched moldings from a ebay store. The company is actually Dawn Enterprises, right? I saw the big picture and they look really nice. I think I'm going to get the same thing.

 

Yeah...Dawn enterprises is who made mine. I got them quick. I also think i paid more for mine back in 07. I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed. I had the Toyota black one's on my truck initially, but they fell off within a week. I probably put them on wrong. Much happier with the one's I goy now.

 

Thanks! Placed my order.

 

I agree
