    Hey Everyone,
    I currently have a TRD grille and hood bulge in Onyx Black on my magnetic grey truck. do you think it would look better if I got the matching color TRD grille and bulge? or does this setup look ok? I've had this setup on my truck for about 3 year but seeing the color matching makes me want to change.

    also if I did change anyone interested in the Onyx black TRD Grille?

    I'd say color match. Personal preference

    I like it!! Leave it.

    Matches the emblems, the running boards, the wheels, the center section of the bumpers all being black.

    If I were you and wanted to offset it some more, I would have a black insert decal installed on the hood to match the indent back to the rear edge of the hood. That would set all the black off nicely, I think!!

    I'm planning to rhino line my chrome surround and bumper. So I'll have a blue truck with black on the front. I think your black surround works but maybe get black end caps for your bumper? I did like Eric's suggestion to add the decal to provide some more black to your hood for it to tie in.
    But it's your truck, do what will make you happy!

    Color match bumpers to the grill, and add the decal to the hood.

    If you painted the chrome on the bumpers it’ll make that black look better! Otherwise I too am a fan of the color match.

    also, how do you like those headlights?

    Colour match grill surround and bumper corners gives it a nice clean look in my opinion.

    With the wheel set up it will look great !!

    What a bought and what it is now! BB472FF9-3C2F-4080-84FD-72E0C2683368.jpgF4E2121A-94FE-43E4-A735-24985218222D.jpg
