    But how will your backseaters in the rear see outside the rainy windows?!

    I say lose them all together. Rain is just rain, Unless you smoke, in that case Quit then lose them all. haha

    The fronts will definitely stay, j don't smoke but I like the fresh air. And It's raining for 9 months of the year none stop

    I'm recovering from some liver surgery and got lots of waxing and plasti dipping planned. There's a good chance those rears will be taken off. Atleast get the feel for it with just the fronts on.

    I dunno lol

    Now it looks all off, Maybe tinting the front windows would match a little better. Truck looks good though man, Time to lift!

    Leave em on if leaving front ones. Would look imbalanced without rears.

    Not much on the 07 yet. 18 is gone, but was a greata truck. TRD Pro grill, Gator FX3, Homelink mirror, Black out badges & exhaust tip, Remote start. Future TRD exhaust, skid plate.
    Seems silly to have them on when they are non-functional, but wait...I did buy a Tacoma with a hood scoop.
    Real tragedy is that Toyota went the cheap route and makes those window non functional for venting.
    Cheers!

    I like mine on - even if its non-functional (like the hood scoop), it matches the front. IMHO - it looks off without the rears, like only doing the front doors on a DC.
