Thoughts and Opinions, Colvindesign help needed

I'm thinking of Painting the "chrome" bumpers of my truck with Bedliner coating, so it they would just be black. But i kind of think the existing plastic trim pieces would look like shit with that combination.



Rear end i know would look better, this way but the front is kind of an eye sore



I'll Most likely be getting either factory alloys or just basic black steelies for it soon.

I like it with the Chrome bumpers, 98% of tundras have painted bumpers.

agreed, keep the chrome. ditch the wheels

Actually, If you found the chrome grille, then the bumper wouldn't look so out of place.

The rear end looks okay as is, but I see what you're saying about the garishness of the front bumper. If you got chrome wheels, it would all go well, I think.

Chrome - or at least black - grille is what's needed.

Wrap it in RealTree

or get a body-color bumper piece on the front. the rear could stand to be black plastic with that. of course as was said before Chrome wheels and none of that really matters.

You guys are forgetting that Chrome belongs on Buicks and vehicles belt before the first Bush was president.

at least take the hubcaps off.

It looks worse with them off.

I don't agree with this. Chrome belongs on trucks, but only in 3 places; the bumpers, wheels, and grille. Emblems don't count, that's expected. Any aftermarket accesories like a bull bar or bed mounted light bar, can be chrome as well, as long as it's not overkill.

looking at it, it might look better with chorme wing mirrors

or with the chrome bumpers being painted bumper black.


but even then, it'd still look like a shittyy old mans mobile

Why is a pickup truck so soft-edged? It's really annoying and how could Toyota get the Hilux right year after year and then stuff up a clone of their own model?

i agree, that just might be the blandest looking vehicle ever.

you bought a fucking old man truck. just roll with it.

That truck would have been better with a shortbed, but Toyota didn't sell them like that.

I'm actually kind of leaning with this idea. But the exhaust has to go

Again - this is an old man truck. Don't get the two confused.

painting them black is your only real option. and get rid of the 92-style 3 spoke wheels..

yeah that truck has class, aside from the Ohio License plate.

Mine has no class, it's a Jap Truck made in Indiana.

It's getting ready to revisit its Kentucky roots and previous owner next weekend when I take this home.

Yeah WTF was Toyota thinking? Fucking 3-spoke wheel covers.
