    I'm new here and looking to order a 2022 Tacoma. I really want the black Tacoma, but also like the blacked out emblems. Does anybody have black emblems on a black Tacoma, or will it look dumb?

    Thank you!

    I plasti dip’d mine black. I think they look better than the chrome.

    Also, welcome to TW!

    I generally like emblem free, but There is a guy around here with a black Gen3 with matt black emblems and inserts on the tailgate. I thought it gave it a subtle, cool, vibe. His truck is going toward black on black, on black. I like it.

    You a PNW dweller? Like the ironman lift ;)

    I have the dark metallic grey with all black emblems and for the first time ever, I actually added emblems to the tailgate (the TACOMA inlay) instead of removing them all and stickers too. Kinda like the way they look on this ride. I think they'd look good on an all black taco too.

    The real question is: Is your bumper color keyed? I had to make sure when I ordered mine cuz I just don't do chrome like that. It comes with the "tech" package.

    Thanks but nope not an PNW dweller. I’m on the east coast.

    I painted the rear emblems too. I have the tailgate inserts but painted them using colorchange paint, black/blue galaxy from Rustoleum. It ended up too purple for my liking but I’ve not changed it yet. I have a green/copper that might look ok or I’ll paint it black to match. I popped the bumper covers off and painted those black as well but used the Rustoleum bed liner. Those came out looking pretty good too.

    I think it will look much better as long as they aren't plasti-dipped.
    We have "marked" police cars in my town that are black and say "POLICE" in black letters. You can't tell until you re right on top of them.

    Go with the OEM overlays. Much better than plastidip

    My truck was ordered with the XP package, black everything. I bought it with 23,000 miles but like the black on black.

    I removed all of the almost invisible chrome badges on my silver truck soon after purchase. Added black (Tacoma) badges on the sides. Clean looking I think.

    Why even have those emblems at all? I mean everybody knows it's a Tacoma. I wish my tailgate wasn't embossed as well.

    Took off all the chrome emblems on my MGM. Thought it looked too plain. Put black Tacoma emblems (from Etsy) on the sides and tailgate. Looked much better to me.

    It's all a matter of personal opinion. I did a chrome to black change-over on a metallic black Taco and the owner was pleased. I also made Tacoma letters and installed them on an aftermarket grill. Again, the owner was pleased. He said it was the perfect size, color, and font. If he is happy, I am happy.
