    I own a Sky Silver Crewmax SR5 and I'm stuck on the fence about a simple issue.

    I'm doing the TRD Pro Grill change out in a week or two and now want to either change out my black door handles and mirror caps to Chrome to match the side emblems or change out the emblems to black to match the handles and mirror caps. What do you think?

    I have the CHrome handles of my CM and the chrome caps. If you want to buy them PM me.

    Black badges to match the handles and mirror IMO.

    I think it really depends on your overall scheme you have in mind. I changed out my black SR5 handles to chrome ones. I think on silver trucks, chrome looks color-matched. On something like inferno, I definitely like black better.

    I'm most likely going to Plasti Dip my bumper pieces and emblems. Once I swap out the grille and hood bulge to black ones.

    Thanks everyone for your feedback. I've decided that I'm going to go with blacking out my emblems. For the time being I'll leave my bumpers chrome to match my chrome front grill surrounding the TRD Pro grill in black. Hopefully I'll be happy with how this looks.
