I'd say yes, most definately.

Personally i dont like it as theres nothing else black on your car

agreed

nah keep it colourcoded.

are they only 18s? they look a lil bigger than 18s :nuts:

Mt tyres and mudflaps are black!:P
yeah they're eighteens, highest legal insurable size over here on the west side

Black looks out of place.

I'm wondering what it would look like chrome?

black = no
chrome = bling = yes

black = no
chrome = bling = yes

Can u paint plastic chrome without it looking like ****?
Cause i was originally thinking chrome but it would look dull cause of the surface of the side things
Anyone know that they are called, im getting pissed off trying to describe them when i could just use one word!

black- no
chrome- ehhh maybe...

i just call em door garnishes btw...

get KW verada mouldings body color with a chrome strip.

Called door trim. And keep it colour coded, dont change it black.

wow.... ppl are paying money to have their bump strip colour coded but you want to do the opposite? :nuts:

dear god no, color code it, looks SOOO out of place! (stfu with the spoiler jokes:P)

^ im with stoopid.

sif paint it black :\

seriously.. :slap:

dont do it.... it will make it look like an exec...!

go ahead.... if u wanna make it look like an exec...!

Haha wen i pull up at the lights they'll be like its an executive i may be able to beat it, then once the green shines BAM all they'll see is the dust of a verada! :nuts:

Yeh my car is almost completely colour coded atm, kashmir body silver rims all my lights same colour at the front, only thing outta place are my tinted tails which i prefer to the bright red stock verada tails, and my rear mud flaps which aren't really noticable!

Dont do it!

Execs are quicker than Veradas...

Anyway...don't paint it

not a fan canadian... ur ride looks so much smooooooother with colour coded...

maybe paint it orange or pewter:think:

ill either stick with chrome or colour coded, not a big fan of the black looks a bit tacky

I am going to go againts you all here and say go for it, I think it gives the car definition...

Execs are quicker than Veradas...

Dependant on model really, methinks thats a KE or KF that canadian has, in which case the exec would be a 2.4 or 3.0 if im not wrong???

I love the look of your car with clear indicators and the new chrome grill... I'd love to colour code my car but dont have the time or money - dont take a step backwards it will look seedy.

Dependant on model really, methinks thats a KE or KF that canadian has, in which case the exec would be a 2.4 or 3.0 if im not wrong???
No it's not dependant on the model. Only the engine...and obviously I'm not going to compare the 2.4l to the 3.0l...

Execs are a nice amount lighter. The execs are quicker and could either be 2.4 or 3.0...

22608 I think the words you're looking for bro are "side door mouldings" they would look better colour-coded or you could just shave them off completly like mine :)

I'm painting mine black - but I have a balck car ;)


Don't do it, looks out of place!

Don't do it.

Black makes it look pov spec. You car looks like it has class as it is, having black down the side will take that all away.

For the love of God, don't do it, your still young!!! And once you go black, you can never go back :D

Mine are black. Looks good. hahaha.

What I was actually meaning was that in each series it is dependant, example E series Verada would be quicker cos of 3.5L versus 3.0L in exec. Whereas TJ2 for example Exec would be quicker than Verada, both 3.5 but Verada being heavier......anyways its all academic, cos then people could also say its dependant on fuel levels, driver style, passengers, gearboxes etc. Also a bit off topic too....so Ill drop it.

Haha wen i pull up at the lights they'll be like its an executive i may be able to beat it, then once the green shines BAM all they'll see is the dust of a verada! :nuts:

the dust of a verada that is heavier and with the same out put engine..... :doubt:

you sure they'll be seeing your dust?

Don't do it.

Haha funny yeah im probably not gonna do it simply because it will take all the class away from my car, but hauwai has a good idea, shave them completely off hmmm


I think the words you're looking for bro are "side door mouldings" they would look better colour-coded or you could just shave them off completly like mine

Or i could just keep them colour coded which i think i'll do!
Save more money for my performance mods bacnk account!
Thanks alot for opinions guys :clap:

shaved mine looks hott

I'm with Hauwai on this one.
I myself had my strips removed and smoothed and it adds a nice touch.
My car is black and it does stand out.
But yours being a silver color it will look nice.

:thumbsup: BTW your car looks awesome. :thumbsup:

22608 I think the words you're looking for bro are "side door mouldings" they would look better colour-coded or you could just shave them off completly like mine :)
OMG, hauwai, you are gifted! With one, single, post you have people thinking about shaving their side door mouldings off...count me in!

Would that sucker just come off without anything special? I mean, would I have to get it done professionally, or would it just come off like the badges? 'Shaving' sounds like a trip to a smash repairer and respray.:confused:

i'd imagine there would be paint underneath them, so i reckon after removal of the strips, all you would need to do is maybe give the doors a quick buff to even out the paint. I could be wrong tho lol

later:cool:

dont do black....

try chroming your mirrors if u want the bling euro look?

Called door trim. And keep it colour coded, dont change it black.
door trim is on the inside of the car. they're called body moulds or more common in the industry as protector moulds.

dude, colour code them. your front mudflaps look done and not the rear, so get those rear ones done while your at it. colour coding the protector moulds looks way better. i made mention to Blackbeard about what a difference it made to his car which i think is the same if not similar colour

Haha wen i pull up at the lights they'll be like its an executive i may be able to beat it, then once the green shines BAM all they'll see is the dust of a verada! :nuts:

Hmmm... not if I pull up in the supra lol

I think you should keep it colour coded
