Fresh ideas on how to make my Tacoma look nicer?

Nice truck. Here's my .02;
1. Put lights on the bull bar or get rid of it.
2. Black OEM running boards.
3. Install color matched door handles.
4. De-badge & de-sticker.

 

I"ll agree with this. Also, while you color match the grill, paint the bull bar white also - I saw a stormtrooper with colormatched bull bar and satoshi grill and it looked really nice, and different. My bullbar is also colormatched and I get alot of compliments on it. It makes it look more part of the truck than an add-on.

 

hmmm I say.. do what fits your personality.. Tacomas always look nice.. just add small things that identify you and what you use it for...

 

Can't believe no one mentioned this: Tonneau cover.

 

As others have pointed out: kill the bull bar and stickers, and debadge the truck.

 

+1 for each.

 

Why the hate on the bull bar? I was thinking of getting a black powder coat bull bar for my 2013 Black Tacoma to round out the look of the black powder coat step bars.

 

Don't like bull bars and definitely not stickers, but it's your truck and not anyone else's on here. Do what you like. My top mods are lift kit, rims/tires, WeatherTech Digi Liners, and derp badges.

 

This..........



Reminds me of this.........



Don't do tube stebs or the so called wannabe sliders with drop down steps. They will be nothing but a hindrance if you ever do ANY mild-wild wheeling. Get full on sliders. They do make them that tuck tight and also some not so tight as you could use them as a step.

Debadge.

 

Loose the bull bar, color match grille, loose all stickers and debadge. Get your windows tinted to 5% all around. Lower it and get a super charger.

 

Lose the stickers except for the one of the people who died and put bilsteins all around

 

Paint it green.

 

I can see what you are talking about in that. It does look kinda weird, at least on the white but I have seen some black trucks with them and it looks really good.

I guess it really depends on what you will be using your truck for, I like to explore unimproved roads and light trails but have no current plans to do anything above light trails.

 

I would satoshi the sh*t out of it then retrofit with white halos then new wheels and tires and personnaly i would loose the bull bar aswell.

 

Debadge your tailgate (I like the side "TACOMA" badges). Obviously you like the bullbar contrary to everyone saying it doesn't look good, so I would say paint it black. Black headlight mod as mentioned as well. I haven't done BHLM on my 2013 cause I think it looks dumb and am waiting until I do a retrofit in the future to fully black out my housing. Maybe retrofit some HID's?

What else? Do the vinyl wrap or plastidip of the lower valence middle piece, that looks good for sure. Do the sleeved fog light mod (basically blacking out the area of the recessed portion surrounding the fog lights.

Otherwise you are going to get into more serious stuff, such as a lift, or new bumpers and sliders.

 

This an drop it. Not enough low riders around here.

 

get rid of the bull-bar, pick up some aggressive 265/75/16 tires, OME 3" lift, spidertraxx wheel spacers, rock sliders, plate bumper, full exo cage, bobbed bed, SAS, 40" IROKs, Fiberglass... bunch of things.

 

Not sure how realistic this is for you, but I'd say a raptor style satoshi, halo headlamps, and some kind of cover, tonneau or a cap. Whatever you do, post some pics!

 

Nice truck, black out the chrome, sell the bull bar and get a Avid light bar, sliders or steps,lift, A/T tires, the stickers are ok but too many ,I see you are a country boy ,get a tool box it will serve you well, WeatherTech or Husky floor mats, give the truck a CLEAN look , look at the build page there are alot of nice trucks you could find the look of the mods before you do them ,

 

add a Duck Commander sticker to that back window...and call it a day.
