Black Tacomas?

nothing fancy much on the old taco, new rubber ~4k ago, replaced the weathered scuff plate screws & wheel molding bolts with some sharp-looking new black ones
waiting on the powdercoater to finish the lower shield on the fuel tank (hope they don't make it pink )
still need to swap the after-market hood protector with genuine OEM protector finally found one in CO
... pending custom LineX spray-in liner that could potentially be #1 badass (as i have not yet seen one like it on TW)




... almost forget, had to recently replace the worn out catback with aftermarket million mile warranty system

 

what is your secret to keeping it looking tipTop being located in WI?
i have been through Fond du Lac too many times to count
winter of '98/'99 was harsh!!

 

Thanks. That picture was taken 2 weeks ago. About 1 hour after bumper install, and 2 days after a washing.

 

i meant with the winter weathering it must endure!
I have been fighting the elements for 2+ decades now lol
and am more or less a lone survivor in my locale (until I see other tacos as old as mine on the roads here)

 

In winter I just keep it washed, as long as it not too cold and car wash place is closed.

 

Which blacked headlights did you choose?
I have a light at hidden. Might tint it a bit because it does stick out.

 

I went with @no vtec 4me

and then @MESO for the mirror turn signals

I'm new to the TacomaWorld and to my truck! I've only had it a few weeks but loving it so far. Just bought an SR as I don't really need anything fancy or 4x4. I (personally) like a clean, lightly modded look so I've got new wheels, side steps and put a TRD Sport/Off-Road grille to break up some of the black. Switched out the interior lights for leds. Many more mods to come though!
