You have a lot chrome on there. Might be more work than needed to change it. Besides it looks good with the black. From what I can see I would do the Taco whip mod (looks like you're running the half mast) or fix the rear sag. Don't have to do a lift just get some new coils that aren't so worn out.
You could always do a custom grill too. There are good write ups on mods.

I agreed, I am also a one color guy but Toyota loved to do the two tone scheme especially in the later years with fender flares.
The Taco Whip mod is replacing the existing factory motorized antenna with a fixed one. It is a very common problem that seems to reoccurring on all vehicles. Either the motor will break or the antenna itself will break and it costs the same to replace it with a fixed model found on Tacoma’s. Its a few hours of work but well worth it IMO. I bought mine from the stealership for about $55.00. Requires removal of the wheel well, radio and possibly the glove box depending on how in well you want to hide the wire. I would do a search; there are a lot more detailed write-ups than mine.
Rather than just doing the spacers I would also consider replacing the coils and maybe the shocks. Just adding the spacer will fix the problem now but you will just be back to the same in a few months when it continues to sag.
It's like trying to fix a sink hole by putting more mud on top. Sure it may look like it's all good but the hole will continue to sink.

First off, Nice clean ride. As far as taking the chrome off the fender trim isnt that hard to remove but might need some buffing and polishing underneath to bring back the shine. Also there is a write up or two about people that have used spray on bed liner to do their bumpers that don't look to bad. That will give you your all black look.

Pikeman: I saw the bumper spray on liner. It looks good in the pics, but I wonder what it looks like in person. Kinda risky. I was thinkin black chrome. I just don't know how it's done or how deniro it's gonna take.
Lucky: The stereo is definatly coming. I upgraded the head unit. The stock speakers will get replaced along with a sub and amp. The grill is an interesting thought I didn't think of. I blacked out the front Grille emblem and the rear Toyota emblem on the rear hatch already.
Thanks for the opinions guys
