Black rims with tiny or no center caps, little or no chrome trim and black emblems were the attributes of a base model car/truck when I was a kid. That went along with bench seats and an AM radio with manual windows.

When the rocker panels rusted out people ground off the rust, Bondo'd up the hole and painted a black strip down the length of the car over the Bondo so they didnt have to try and match the paint colors. Beautiful.

Now people are paying Toyota extra for blacked out emblems, black trim, black wheels and my favorite aftermarket accessory, the black signal light cover. I was following a Nissan with these on last night. What a great idea (sarchasm)

Honestly I don't care for how these "blacked out" vehicles look.

You have to go all the way to a Limited to get any kind of "chrome" trim work. I wish the Toyota had put some on the Premium models.
