Black out lower section?

Dip the lower section or not? Need some opinions!

 

Meh leave it all white bro it looks much cleaner.

 

i would leave it white too

 

all white ..... original as is... better to do line-X or bedliner IMO

 

Leave it white...maybe some black fender flares to break it up if you wanted.

 

I think if it was any other color id say do it. Looks real good on red,green,blue trucks.

If you got the dip do that rear bumper and door handles.

 

I was leaning towards the white too. Just itching to do some cheap cosmetic mods

Was going to do line-x but don't want to shell out the $650 right now. got some thule rails i need to install on my tonneau. would do fender flares but those are up there $$ as well!

 

also, i want to remove my center caps on the wheels thanks to @Alfuh

 

Could vinyl wrap the hood black.

 

I've had a horrible experience with plasti dip. I did my fender flares and it peeled like a mofo once the rocks tore it up. If you do any kind of wheeling the rocks will do murder to that area. Do a vinyl wrap on that section if anything. With a thick mil type. I lived on a dirt road and with my wider tires, it looks like that whole section is sandblasted now. Ha. While truck needs repainted so not worried about it yet. But once it's painted I'm gonna do something, probably ppf. For the occasions I do go off-road. Idk. Definitely do NOT do plasti dip imho.

 

You could try bed lining from the first body line down, instead of going so high.
Just a thought.

 

Keep it white. Truck looks great!

 

Leave it white

 

I like it!

 

It might look more polished if you swept the black paint line up slightly at the wheel wells rather than keeping a solid straight line the whole way across.

 

So just for cosmetics huh? What about putting it on the rocker panels for protection? Like preventing rock chips on the original paint. Not for looks but for function

 

both cosmetic and functional? I've seen people doing this to protect against the basic stuff you encounter on dirt roads and fields that would just scratch the paint before you get to the level of needing sliders.

Here's a thread on that topic with a first gen: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/rocker-panel-protection.120902/

There's more out there too

 

If you do it get rid of all the chrome, here's a pic I saved from searching

the black fender flares make it work better.

 

or camo the shit out of it haha

 

Lol but you'll start hitting deer when they don't see your truck coming! Guess that's the reason for the bumper bar...?

You could make a template and paint the fenders black where there would be fender flares if your truck had them. It might look pretty good if executed cleanly.

Blacking out the bumpers if you do the rocker panels will look nice imo.
