What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

I added a carbon fiber oval sheet behind the Toyota grill emblem. Carbon fiber is not the easiest stuff to cut. I tried using my Dremel with a small router bit with no luck. I ended up using a sheet metal hand nibbler, worked really well.
I had already added a piece of blue acrylic sheet behind the emblem so I used that as a pattern. I sort of liked the blue, I just felt the color did not work with the Magnetic Gray. Not a carbon fiber fan but I think the color works well.

Blue one I removed and used as a pattern.



I used clear silicone to hold it in place, I left a gap at the bottom for water to drain out.



I will have to take some better pictures with my camera.



I also added locks to the two storage box covers in the back.


I have enough carbon fiber to make several more if anyone in interested. You just need to silicone or JB Weld it in place.
Unless the first gens are the same size, this is for the 2nd gens only. Shoot me a PM.
