    I been thinking about doing that too. Can't decide on black or Cement to match my truck.

    How difficult was the installation?

    There’s gotta be someone on the Tacoma design team that just loves chrome and looks for places to put it. I didn’t notice anyone complaining that the taillights didn’t have chrome.

    I was looking at those on ebay too. Black is less and actually would look good with Cement.
    The sr5 doesn't have chrome on the taillights.

    I think it is only TRD that gets the full chrome treatment. Does the TRD have chrome door handles inside too??

    The limited gets the chrome mirrors and fog bezels, as well as chrome wheels and taillights. Not sure why they did body colour bumper caps on the limited, but went chrome on the mirros
