    I have a super white Tacoma and I think I figured out how to match the paint pretty well. My bumpers have been pretty scratched up so I'm going to reprint them. Question is do you think I should leave it the way it is now or once I redo my satoshi grill....

    Color match grill
    Color match bumper
    Black bumper valence
    Rear bumper black.

    Or keep the color pattern I have now. I like how some tacomas have their bumpers and grill color matched and want mine to sort of look like it came from the factory color matched. Or do you think that's too much white? Not sure. If some one here would be willing to photoshop it in your free time that would be awesome!!! Current setup below.

    My vote is color matched. Here's a crude photoshop (it matches if you squint real hard haha)

    Haha I can get the picture. Where my bumper is black I'm thinking changing that white and where it's white I might go black ( like the rest of the color matched yotas are) not sure yet. Better do it the way this time because all that duplicolor isn't the cheapest!

    No I have the TRD Sport edition so the rear bumper, front grill, side view mirrors and door handles come color-matched. Thanks for the compliment on the bumper guard. Its made by Avidoffroad. Click on my link in my signature and it will take you to their page and you can see all their products.
