    It's all about personal preference! You make the payments should be what appeals to you! I would like to see what the line X looks like But again I am the weird duck that likes my chrome left alone.

    I like the blacked out look on darker color Tundras. I personally don't like the blacked out look on lighter color Tundras. They look too much like work trucks especially if you black out most of the front end. I think chrome looks sweet on silver trucks. But if I were to get rid of chrome, I would color-match it rather than blacking it out.

    I think the combo of color matched and blacked out would be ideal.

    line x is far superior to plasti dip but also more costly. Also check ebay for oem toyota parts already painted. That's how I got my black grille (oem rock warrior part or even TRD sport).
