Tail gate insert

Black and the black decals that leave an outline of chrome on the badges.

 

ok I have to admit. Black does look better.

 

WCP with black inserts. Exhaust pipe is black also.

 

I went with the flat black OEM letters on mine....Same reason above, just not sure what you are going to get from the aftermarket....I got the fake hood scoop too and I love it.

 

I was at my dealership a couple weeks ago and they had a Barcelona Red SR5 in the showroom with the Toyota blackout package installed. That was one great looking truck! Another vote for black, the truck looked amazing.

 

I did black on my Barcelona red. Originally wanted a flag theme that was black/grey/white but before I bought them they were out of stock.

 

Ima do this too. Do they make black inserts for the Pro bedside too? I would like to put black inserts there.

 

I don't really like the inserts for the TRD Pro bedsides or at least any I have seen yet.

 

Yeah, definitely black. Great contrast.

Good looking trucks, guys

 

question ? are the Toyota OEM letters raised or flat like tape it appears they are raised and 3d

 

@Greg-tacoma

This is my current set-up. (Watch your knees/legs)




Although, I do want to change the REDS to cement GRAY to match my Vintage Grill.

 

I vote no inserts. It's stamped into the bed already. It's easier to clean since there are no cracks or crevices.

 

Mine came with inserts already installed. I don't feel they are necessary but I do like them. Gives it a more finished look.

Pic is from the day I picked it up.

 

The OEM ones are raised but not higher then the indentations. They are also flexible and about an 1/8” thick.

 

Raised. They are about 3/32" thick pieces of vinyl. In case of black letters (what I have), color goes all the way thru.
Once applied, they sit slightly above above the main tailgate surface. Not much, maybe 1/32"?

PS yea, I am a stickler for numbers.

 

OP, I would think black would look best on a red truck.

 

As my father would say “they’re not paying me to advertise for them”

 

Go the opposite route. Change the gray to red.

Right! And what's worse are dealership nameplates. When I bought mine I told them to leave the dealer call-out off of the tailgate.
