Is neither an option?

That's JMO though. The less chrome and fake chrome, the better.

To answer your question, the first one... I guess.

It might hurt some peoples feelings, but it's true. There are only a small handful of new Tacos that look good with billet grills. Silver Tacos are OK with billet grills, but I would try to find a brushed or natural finish, instead of chrome. If I got a billet grill it would have to be black powdercoated.

billet grills have be overdone and just dont seem to fit the new taco's look imo, i had one on my 02 and liked it but it just doesnt do anything for me on an 05+. to each his own but i would say go in a different direction, powdercoating one black might be coool, takes the tacky chrome look away, they just get to be too much especially when getting the sides and hood scoop into the mix
