My ‘99 is the warm silver/champagne color. I’ve never thought it looks “beige”. That said, I’m planning on painting mine white at some point soon, and either going charcoal or white on bumpers and trim.
Pics coming. I prefer color-matched...I think Lexus got it right and many manufacturers followed suit in the 2000s. I think it updates the truck. All that said, this was the condition of my bumper prior to color-matching.
I originally prepped, primed and painted the bumpers with Duplicolor color-match in rattle cans. Same with the side moldings.
Since then, both bumpers have been replaced via insurance claims and professionally color-matched.

Go 2-tone with 3M Vinyl - much much easier to remove than plastidip later, inexpensive, and you can do it yourself. Here's as far as I got on my truck before I ran out of time before HIH:
Another option would be a new grill (full disclosure, I am developing this as a new product

I say put the white letters out on the tires. I think it looks good otherwise
Yea, white is tough. It wasn't our first choice but what was available at the time at a good value.
As already mentioned, I'd suggest some version of gun metal. Do the trim and wheels and you'd be set.
(Not like my rig though which is still stock for those areas. Ha.)

Well, I did it. Need to live with it a little but I think I like it.

I've seriously thought about doing this same thing. Looks great!
How do you like it now that you've had it for a few months?
I had the same issue with the beige, just didn't like it, and the bumpers and trim had many parking lot scuff marks.
After experimenting around and failing with rattle can bed liner on the trim i ended up buying all new trim $$$ that has the *-H2 (or was it *-K2..?) paint scheme. In hindsight i wish i'd never used that rattle can crap, it was irreversable. I should have just had a paint shop do them body color
For the bumpers i had them professionally done with bedliner and UV topcoat by a local shop for under $300.

NB100LC- I like that roof rack. What's the story on it?
It’s a Baja Rack utility flat.
I thought you were selling this sweet rig awhile back?
