Should I Blackout My Badges? Pic

Wondering if I should blackout the badges (including the front grill logo) or leave them chrome. What do you guys think?

 

I think it looks good any way you have them, I am thinking the same thing as well.

 

I painted the center grill black, but left the emblem chrome

 

black would look good IMO

 

You should black it out. I'm popping my tacoworld cherry right now. What is everyone using to black them out? Is there a how to thread anywhere?

 

Welcome to the board. Here you go, eat some Chico's for me.

blackout.....ftw!!

 

i think you should do whatever YOU want with them...its YOUR truck...

 

Debadge, and paint the front emblem black.

 

bag it and throw some 22's on that bitch

 

With a silver Tacoma I think that it would match well, either way chrome or black it still looks good.

 

I have a Desert Sand Mica Tacoma. Painting all the chrome black is on my mod list. That includes the rear bumper, badges, and grill shell. Actually, the shell I plan to paint DSM.

I got those step by step instructions bookmarked!

 

I have a silver 04 (1st gen) and I added blacked out 2nd gen badges. Check out my build if ya wanna see.

 

I think they would look really good if you painted them metallic gray metallic! It would still be subtle but look great imho

 

I already have the paint and have read the write-ups but after getting the new tires i don't know if I want to do it anymore. ANybody have pics of their silver Tacoma blacked out with stock sport wheels?

 

i went the xrunner badges route, ordered from toyota dealer using xrunner vin
the toyota and tacoma badges for the tailgate in black sand color, looks great...
the side doors i completely debadged but if wanted to same tailgate black badge is same size so just order 3 instead of 1.
front grill badge just took off, painted black sand color put it back ;p

 

Everybody has them black. They look good chrome, but it's your truck.

 

yes and no. everyone on TW has them black. i haven't come across many tacomas in my area with black badges

 

You're right. I haven't seen anybody with them blacked out around here, either. lol

 

I dedaged my entire truck, painted the badges black and put the two from driver/passenger doors back on. I left the tailgate badges off. Personally I liked it better completely debadged and I will probably remove the black badges from the doors soon. I also blacked out the entire grill. It was simple and I believe there is a post on here somewhere to guide you through it.
