    IDK red, purple or white would be pretty 'dark' ;)

    9" 5% front window strip, tailgate light bar, pulled off TRD stickers, removed mud flaps, blacked out tail lights very soon. There's a lot more coming, this is just the beginning.
    i think the blue would look best, just match it to the swb. that's what i would do anyways. :)

    Red on x-runners 'cause they're the closest thing to a race taco.

    Foglights are for fog, not oncoming traffic!
    Nailed it.
    I voted yellow, cause if you're going rice, go all the way.
    Maybe add a TypeR badge to the back.
    You can't go too tacky.
    I love this forum.

    Red will look pretty cool. I wouldnt go blue unless you get a factory colormatched paint. Black is the safest color to go with if you really dont like the stock color.

    Welded roll pan, custom tail lights, tail lights are candied and smoked, 20' chrome rims 225/35/20, Line-X Xtra bedliner, Chassis Tech leafs, LCE short shifter, Eibach drop coils, 3 peice Racemesh grille, 4 wd lower valance w/ Racemesh grille (not yet finished and installed), blacked headlights, corners and blinkers, Hid headlights, Eclipse head unit. Have new rims on order (HP Design Lightning 18'), single pane rear window, shaved tailgate, all windows tinted including full windsheild,
    Unless you upgrade your brakes........The only color to paint stock is black. Otherwise I looks poser-ish to me. Painted mine black since my calipers are stock. No need to draw attention to them. I have slotted rotors and it looks real clean. Not gaudy.

    I voted 'something else' on the poll only because "Painted calipers??!! Are you high???!!!" wasn't a choice. JMO of course...
