    Hah pretty much, well at least the front end the way it looks.


    Except I wanna keep my headlight housing white rather than tinted dark.. I like the contrast with the black paint

    People keep saying tint the headlight/corner housing but too much black for me. Maybe I'm crazy..

    Eh, I'm just not a fan of chrome. The only chrome I have left is my lug nuts, my headlights, and my cb antenna spring.

    Changing out the lug nuts for black ones the next time I rotate my tires and the chrome headlights will be gone when I retrofit.

    And then you painted it the right way :cool:

    Just plain flat black paint would be the best option for it, right?

    Yeah, bayareataco.

    Really clean! Just not my preference.

    I think on dark vehicles, it should be black or the color of the body. On light vehicles the chrome looks good.

    That looks good too tho, it blends nicely


    You did it the right way & goes well especially w/ your paint color & bumper


    REAL clean... but then again his Taco was real clean even before the retro.
    Chrome on silver or white you're saying would look good :confused:

    Chrome doesn't look as bad on them. I still always prefer black though.
