Chrome or Black??

Here's another page for your delectation:

Consider bronze wheels. They are the new hotness. Especially on black trucks.
I don't like bull bars, but maybe that's just me.
I'd dip the grille and bezel.
If you want to leave some chrome, maybe leave the bezel, logo, and badges.

 

The designers really missed the mark on the TRD grille. Does anyone like that?

 

Well that's the nice thing about TW, just get to 50 posts and if you buy something you don't like, throw it up on the parts forum and someone will take it off your hands.....

 

I have been fortunate enough to live long enough to see the jump from chrome everywhere to black everywhere. It is all personal preference and that's what you're asking for here. I like chrome and black. I think it takes a little bit of chrome or paint accents to make the black stand out. Unless you are going for a completely blacked out look. I have a QS limited and I like the chrome accent on the grille. I hate that chrome grille in some trims! Goofy. I like the other chrome accents around the truck. I hate the chrome badges (getting dipped soon). To me, all black is like "yeah that looks great" all chrome screams I'm old but black with some chrome accents is like "look at this BAMF truck NOW"
I had a black TA and a black Silverado. My wife had a black Grand Am GT. I'D have a black truck but I don't have time to keep it clean and I'm kinda OCD about that. Therefore, QS

 

i liked it 'vader' or monochrome. you an use plastidip which is temporary to see if you like and is $6 per can so great for a budget.

 

I do. But I have a silver truck so the chrome and silver of the trd grill match up... as well as possible. I like it better than any other Toyota grill.

 

Glad I depend on someone who dislikes chrome to help me make payments on my Limited. Although I do have some Black step bars ordered. I can not stand chrome on there. The rest is fine with me.

 

I also think the black chrome looks good on a black truck. I swapped my SR5 grille out with a TRD Off Road grille.

Everything blacked out is played....and boring.

If you have to have black wheels, just don't ever wash them....Black wheels all look remarkably the same imho.

Don't over do any chrome....Be tasteful

 

Maybe you need my "Like-New" SR5 grille.

Bla That pro grill looks like a base model grill to me.

All black plastic looks incredibly cheap too. The pro grill and the SR5 grill should be one and the same.

 

All black looks great. Love your truck, not my cup of tea, but I appreciate the thought you put into it.

 

Where do you go to badges dipped?

 

Totally honest response and appreciated. Hope it gave you some ideas on what to do to yours.

 

How long does the plasti dip last on the grill? I want to black out my grill, but I don't want it looking like crap in a few months. Are there any other options besides plasti dip?

 

Not sure if you have ever checked out plasti dip or not but this thread will explain it all. Plus do a YouTube search for it.
