    Honestly, I don't care for either color. I think just plain black would look best on your truck.

    Some people would go with whichever color in more popular in San Francisco, CA or Provincetown, MA. I would go with option 3 and WTF?

    When I was a kid at Halloween I would carve a pumpkin to the point of mutilation thinking more carving equals awesome results. In the end I always realized what a terrible looking pumpkin I had .
    It appears you have the same issue with your truck. Stop where you are and back away. Your truck looks great the way it is.

    Got to ask ... is the TRD decal to size or are you (OP) just asking about color?

    I think a matte black would look great. I have matte black bed decals and I love the subtlety of it.

    If you must do it, do a matte of the same color of your vehicle. At least it's subtle. I vote option 3.

    Yeah, that's the point man. IMO it's about the subtle things on a truck that really make it look good.
