    How do you think black tail light guards would look on my silver tacoma? I saw some on a black tacoma the other day and I thought they looked good. I'm trying to add more black accesories but I don't want to over do it. What do you guys think?

    I think you are going to get a bunch of responses that say " No way , they look like shit " and a bunch that say " Go for it " , the question is , what do you think they will look like , on YOUR truck ?


    PS - Nice Backrack

    Do it if you like them, black would look good.

    I personally dont like them but that doesnt mean you shouldnt get some if you like them. Try starting with some DIY mods like blacking out your badges or tinting your tails.

    Only matters to you but if you ask me, too bulky and does it really serve a purpose? Better chance of flying debris damaging the front lights vs. rear.

    More bling isn't my style - personally, I like the clean look.

    But as others said above, it's not what *I* like on my truck that's important. It's what *you* like. It would be pretty boring if every Taco on the road looked just like mine.

    EDIT: On your silver truck, with the chrome bumper, I'd go chrome light-guards, rather than black, if it was me adding them.

    Thanks for the opinions guys. I think I'm going to forget the tail light guards.
