TRD offroad Decals on stratosphere mica Tundra?

mmarlatt · #1 (**permalink**) 02-11-2004, 09:45 PM

I have a stratosphere mica (fancy way to say dark blue) Tundra and would like to purchase the TRD decals to flank the sides of the bed. Does anyone know the color of the "TRD offroad" decals that are on the dark blue truck?

I have never seen a stratosphere mica Tundra with the TRD package. I have actually only ever seen one other stratosphere mica Tundra, and that was at the dealership when I bought mine.

Thanks,

i'm not quite sure of what color TRD Decal comes on the stratosphere mica but i think the silver decal would look pretty good

I agree that silver would probably look great. A local dealer has one with the TRD package and the decals are white.

I have never seen a Stratosphere Mica with TRD either...I keep a sharp eye out too...Silver would look cool though...

About 50% of the Tundras I see are Phantom Gray, 25% Silver Sky, 15% white and the rest a mix of black, Salsa Red, Imperial Jade and the rarest of all...Stratosphere Mica...That's why I dig my truck!

Thanks for your input on decal color the the stratosphere mica. I was thinking about going Gold, but then it might contrast with the chrome already on my truck, so I will probably get silver (maybe with red highlights).

I was checking ebay for the Decals. There is a seller that has tons in all the colors you could want, but I don't think they are toyota parts (I have never seen TRD All-Terain Decals or all in chrome). Has anyone ever tried these decals. Two for ~$15 is much better than the $70+ that everyone else wants to charge.

I have a strat mica tundra sr5 with the TRD package. Decals are white with silver highlights.

This color looks by far the best on the blue.

I could take a pic for you if you want

The clear still shows a haze, but cleard up a few days later....

Thank you for the pictures. People who post pictures are awesome!

Did the "knock offs" come with special instructions. Was any prep solvent included?

Thanks.

Stratosphere Mica is a great color! Actually de-badgeing mine.

BruceTS · #13 (**permalink**) 02-27-2004, 09:40 PM

Yes they came with instructions, but no prep solvent. I didn't need the solvent, since I had to use polishing compound to remove my Califorina stripes. Then I used a quick wipe of thinner and applied them using soappy water and a squeegy.

my trucks the sliver sky, and iam havin a hard time desiding what color decal i should go with. i really think the black and red would look good, but for some strange reason iam thinkin silver would be kinda cool, even if it doesnt stand out that much. what do u guys think. thanks

I've got a Silver Sky, too. While it's not a TRD, it came with the TSS (Toyota Sports Series) graphics installed. They are black and red and they look really nice on the rear of the truck, without being overpowering.

After seeing the silver graphics on other trucks, I don't think you would be able to notice they were even there unless you were very close to the vehicle.

Just my opinion. Good Luck!
