    I personally don't think the chrome grille and bumper looks good on the 05+ tacomas. Chrome wheels do, but they just have to have a nice design to them.

    black and chrome both look good in moderation

    Master Blaster ... WTF? He was taken down by a whistle! It took an entire tanker truck filled with Australian orange to bring down the mighty Humongous.

    As for Fifi, I always pictured him leaving the chaos with a couple of hot blonds and his parrots to live on an isolated tropical island somewhere. It's that or crawling into a bottle of finely aged scotch and eventually dying of lung cancer. One of those two ....

    I think chrome still has it's place. It's all about the context of what car it's used on. As a general rule I usually think everything looks better without chrome, except my dad's white 94 F350 looks great with it, and my white 03 extracab looks great with it too. If my taco were any other color it would look bad though. The white and chrome just looks good on stylish trucks.

    not to many, love it the way it is
    I've seen pics of chris4x4 truck here on the forum and his chrome rims like shiny and clean, some of these blacked out expensive rims that people put on their trucks look like they lost their hub caps... the only detail you see is up close, a few feet away and all you see is black with no detail. might as well have a cheap black rim, I suppose. Joke. Seriously though, some black rims with a little bit of chrome or gold looks good too and provides detail from a far away distance
