Time to buy decals. What do you think?

Well, it's time to buy decals for my 4Runner. I've been putting it off for over a year. I've been playing with Photoshop tonight on a few other projects and decided to see how my rig would look with TRD decals on the rear quarters.
What do you think?
This is a "chrome" decal:

It is not acutally chrome, but rather several gradients of silver made to look like chrome. They match the fenders nicely but can barely be seen at a distance on the rest of the truck.

This is the traditional black decal:

It stands out more and offers a great contrast.

I used an old picture to Photochop these. The front is now being occupied by a TJM bumper.

So, give me your opinion!

Does your black one have the red shadow effect or is it 2D black only?

Get the black with silver shadow under it, that will look good real good with your tinted windows, tires etc and the silver will look with the flares.

Another vote for black. I am thinking of getting those same decals for my white '96 4Runner.

black stands out very well and brings out the tinted windows and clean tires any color would look awesome ... but the black just looks ... right.

Black all the way, I will probably end up getting the ones that Brian (waskillywabbit) has on his rig, but for yours...those black ones are the way to go!
