TRD Center Caps on Bronze - Yes or No?

[Rock_Rat]

Need your opinion. Do I add the brushed aluminum TRD center caps on the bronze Level 8's or stay with the Level 8 logo? I have a TRD SC so I can justify "sorta" adding TRD bling on my t4r. Not to mention the increase in the HP per wheel. BTW they easily snap right in.

take the level 8 logo off and put a trd sticker on if you want one.

no sticker or trd sticker, and not the chrome cap

Not that easy. The Level 8 cap is grey plastic with bronze paint. The white logo is painted into the cap. Paint remover will destroy the cap. I wish they did something different with the logo. It's pretty lame looking.

hmm... find a bronze paint and paint them?

Yea, that's my thought so far. Or just leave the Level 8's the way they are. I'm not really liking the aluminum/bronze contrast. I hate trying to have something "grow on me" if you know what I mean. Thanks for your input...

I agree, go with the bronze cap. I'm not liking the contrast either.

Unlike the others, I'm a fan of the contrast and really like the TRD cap.

 

[SURF RUNNER]

I agree with MattJacobs

I really like the OEM silver center cap BUT your if your calipers were Silver/Aluminum then it would match the silver center cap much better.

 

[JeepKiller]

The contrast is a lot better looking. The all bronze doesn't look too hot, so I'm siding with Jakobs

My wife likes the TRD caps over the Level 8's. Her opinion counts...

These might look better with a silver beadlock.

Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your input. I went and replaced all four center caps with the OEM TRD caps. If I don't like them, I'll change them out later on. Eventually, I'll match the bronze color on the Level 8"s and engrave TRD in them - maybe.

Left the back end up on jacks. I figured it was time to replace the shoes, rear links, turn the drums, hone the cylinders, and finally install my stainless steel brake line from Wheelers off road. Give me something to do this week as if...

 

[MattJakobs]

Have you considered giving the TRD caps a sand with some high grit sand paper or maybe a wipe down with acetone or a paint stripper, then painting them to match the wheels and hand painting in the TRD?

Here's mine with bronze/silver caps.
