My FIRST mod!

With my taco being the Sport package and having no chrome the stock grille emblem bothered me. So I blacked it out!! What do ya think? Like the looks of the Timberland Mica and black. Thinking of debadging/shaving the tailgate completely and painting the Tacoma emblems on the doors black. Thoughts?

 

How did you paint over the chrome?

 

Just scuffed it with a scotch brite pad used a self etching primer and then sprayed the flat black. Easy and cheap for a HUGE difference in appearance if ya ask me!

 

looks better.

 

Looks great man! Id say just black out all the emblems. Make a build thread!

 

Looks a lot cleaner

 

Ah the mod bug looks good.

 

It started like this for me. It always starts with something small....

 

That looks pretty SWEET! Do they just go on with doublesided tape? Who makes those and how much $$?

 

Gj. Looks bronze though

 

i have redone it once from this pic. I used a different primer this time around and rustoleum flat back ratlle can. It's def BLACK and looks better this time around.
I have shaved the tailgate emblems since that pic as well.
Gonna look into those eyelids for sure!

 

I like the black look.
I'm not much of a lover of chrome anything.
(I'm think of debadging the entire truck too.)

 

looks great!
