Before and after pictures

I think the base model all black frontend is very ugly so I pulled the parts off the truck and had them painted. The original grill had a hole in it so I went ahead and bought a new aftermarket grill while it was all apart. I also installed a set of $40 Amazon fog lights too.

 

Nice job. My white OR has a chrome grill surround. I hate chrome. So I painted it black.

 

Perfecto.

 

Cool look. Dont forget the Mirrors

 

Do you know if the mirror covers pop off?

 

There was a guy near me that had new chrome covers for those mirrors. https://rochester.craigslist.org/pts/d/rochester-toyota-tacoma-chrome-side/7820263487.html

 

This looks fantastic- worlds better than the all black. Very 3rd gen of you

 

To each his own. After my blue bumper cover was damaged I went all black.
Hazy headlights have since been replaced.

 

have any pics or instructions on mounting your led light strip in your lower grill. Want to do mine like that!

 

I understand, I sent the before & after pics to my brother-in-law and he said which is which? I think he liked the black better, not me. I do love your blue color, wish my taco truck was that blue.

 

Really like the all white look. Did the same with my 05 when I got it, with some modification to the grill and surround. I had to get rid of the grill section and really disliked the triangle section near the grill so I had them filled before painting it.

 

Looks good!

 

I prefer the black. Color matching black trim is really popular on the GMT800 trucks too and I just think the contrasting black looks better.

 

To me the all black plastic frontend just screams bottom of the barrel, lowest level base truck. Which it is but it doesn't need to send that message to everyone as I'm going down the road.

 

Looks great, love the all white look!
