Emblems and seat cover advice

hello,

I'm new to this fourm and had a few questions on what products to look for.

ive just purchased a Tan 2016 Tacoma SR5, and am looking into blacking out the emblems.

ive seen "overlay kits" for 99$, and many youtube videos for just plasti dipping them.
does any one see an advantage to paying the 99$ for overlays instead of just painting the originals for 10$? also, I have a plastic "chrome" bumper, can this be painted with bed liner?

Rear tailgate lettering, I see vynal decals for 20$ a set, and "raised abs plastic" lettering for 50$ each, any opinions on witch way to go for this?

last question is seat covers.........id like to get a front and rear set, everything I see is 400$+, and suggestions on where to look for a cheaper set that is still decent quality?

these are pretty basic questions I appreciate any help, cant wait to get this thing the way I want it

 

Emblems: either remove and paint or cover your truck with tape and paint.

Tailgate letters: black vinyl for cheap. A user on here sells them.

Seat covers: you get what you pay for. I have Cover King seat covers. If you have a Costco membership they run sales on them for $100-200 off. They're equivalent to Wet Okoles in my opinion and a few others who have sat in my truck.

 

Clazzio is the brand to get but over your budget.

 

Clazzio all the way.

 

Tailgate letters: I started out with the vinyl stickers but wasn't happy with the look so I got the raised letters by Tufskinz.

 

so it looks like I need to nut up and go for a nicer set of seat covers.

noted.

thanks for that, haha may have to wait a month or two though

 

Do you want leather seats or wetsuit material seats? Klazzio for leather, cover king for wetsuit

 

thank you sir, I think I will end up feeling the same way

 

most likely the wetsuit material, I live by the beach and play paintball every weekend. looks like ill keep an eye out for coverking to run a sale

 

Then pass on the klazzios. Look at cover king. It's the neoprene/wetsuit material. Wet Okole is the other company but way more expensive. I think I paid about $350 for front and rear seats with cover king and they're just as good as wet okole. I got mine for the same reason. I surf (used to) a lot and they're easy to clean. And you don't get that leather burn when sitting down on a hot day

 

I just found some neosupreme covers by coverking, they say they are not as water resistant but are $288 shipped

anyone have any experience with these?


I really appreciate all the help, and quick replies. I'm glad I joined this fourm

 

Yes. That's what I have.
