Does it really matter?

Your truck usually looks like this!

Have you considered RED to match MRSMUDLOVINGFJ's hair? (and my skids)

I think that a Red and Yellow FJ would be very distinctive and UNIQUE. However, I voted for black. White is ok if you keep the bumper stock but you'll go to an after market bumper eventually and white wouldn't look as good.
 
White or Black are both cool. The white is old school and goes with your top. The black is sharp looking too like Dragons. Good luck with your choice :D
 
White....I to was torn, it's easy to change if you get tired of the change.

I think I might have my VD's painted white. Does anyone have a pic of that? I voted white BTW.

thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions so far.

thank you bluehi for the chops! pink is a little too bright, but it might be worth a try :silly:

im still on the fence, but i was thinking i would try white and if i didnt like it i can easily go black.


ans someone asked if i was gonna spray it or have someone do it for me. I think since im still not sure as to what color i will stick with im going to do it myself to be able to change it easily. that way i wont be throwing a $100 away if i change it.

i have spray painted a lot in my life, and i spray painted the grille on my 2006 g35 coupe a while ago and it turned out excellent. the bezel on the fj is nice and flat so it souldnt be too hard at all.

thanks again guys and keep the comments and suggestions coming!

what paint are you going to use dominic? and what are you going to do to prep the plastic? be sure to use some adhesion promoter too
 
IMHO the white bezel works with the white roof, giving a retro look, silver is just kind of there and black, while it does look mean, just blends in with the flares and bumpers. I'm hoping to get my Sun Fusion 2008 in a week so I'm personally interested in your choice. Good luck in deciding.
 
I voted black. Something about black and yellow. You know mine is painted black. Now after 3 months, I am having 2nd thoughts about it. I got black all up front. A little to much for me. I think I am gonna try white. Roof color that is. I just wanna make it pop being on a VB. Although I think a Blueish/Black Carbon fiber would kickass. So where can I find FJ roof top white in a spray can???
 
Stock.

Don't want to void your warranty do you? :lol:
 
paint it black but im a little biased! haha
 
If you had white wheels like Sky, I'd say go white, because his setup looks effin sweet.

I did some quick chops and with your wheels, I'm leaning towards black, with SF logo. :cool:

I have a color matched black diamond one and a white one , bezels only cost 110 bucks another one, so depending on yer mood make it black one week white the next.

I like the black. Nice chops blue hi.

Hey MudLover, edit bluehi's chops into the original post!

You know, MudlovingFJ, there is a little bitty thread around here that a couple of people actually responded to about painting the bezel....wait...ok....oh, here it is

:lol: I know you've seen it, but there's some tips in there on how to remove and paint the bezel.

Good luck! post pics.
