What does everyone think of the black hood and roof

Any thoughts

 

A beaut

 

Never been a fan of hood. Always like the roof. Either way, it’s your truck. The only question should be, do YOU like it. If you do, that is all that matters

Im okay with it on mine. for the most part

 

Speechless...

 

My 09 roof and hood has the clearcoat clouding and starting to peel so that's next for me too.
Paint, bedliner, or a wrap. Lots of options I'm looking at. ARE shell is black already.
Did you sand/prime and type of paint did you use? Clearcoat after is also an option but....

 

I wrapped the roof of my Old GTI matte black and while it looked cool, I could instantly tell the difference in cabin temperature after I did it.

Black absorbs heat energy more than other colors, so I personally wouldn't recommend it to people in hot climates.
I'm actually going to paint the roof on my van white (or slightly offwhite) to try and make it less of a toaster oven.

 

looks under repair

 

Exactly why I stick with silver.

 

I’m not a fan of it (you asked) but all that matters is if YOU like it.

 

Why did you paint your headlights?

Black in what looks like a southern state(probably true due to 2WD) is not a good color for a vehicle unless you want your vehicle to be hotter than normal.

 

I like the look, but it looks rattle canned. Or maybe it's just dirty in the pics?

 

My truck is blue with a black hood too. I like it

 

Looks like you just got a new hood and primered it but havent gotten a chance to paint it yet.

 

I'm old...………….but I dis the white roof and pillars of older trucks and SUVs, I guess that was from an era where air conditioning was an option. Looks like Toyota revisited this on the FJ Cruiser and now new RAV4. I have hear lots of people hate it, but I have always loved that effect. The FJ55 and early GM trucks looked great in this guise.

If I could have bought a new Tacoma in bright, solid, non metallic, red I would have purchased that and pained the "greenhouse" white and spec'd with clear windows.

I love the faded pink the Toyota red becomes in 25 years.

 

I know this is not a pic of my Taco but I am a fan of the black hood like I have on my car.

 

You need a set of these with blue screws: https://www.ajtdesign-llc.com/online-store/Climate-Knobs-2005-2015-Tacoma-1-PACK-p115199183

 

My hood and roof are starting to oxidize. I had thought about having them wrapped in the matte black. This way if they do the recall on the Nautical Blue I could still be covered...
