    Hey guys a got a pretty great christmas present, my first vehicle. Its a 2013 XSP-X Tacoma. I only have $200 at the moment but i could save up. My question is should i add any mods or save up for bigger projects for the truck?
    Should i plastidip any areas? Should i think of getting a lift? Any opinion is helpful.

    Congrats on the new truck! That thing looks pretty clean as it sits. I'd say lift and bigger tires.

    If your talking about your fender flares they should be made by Bushwacker and yes, those rivets are only cosmetic as they were on the older Tacoma models. They still look nice though. How many miles were on it when you bought it?

    Congratulations on your first vehicle and I do have a bit of advice. Research the product and the vendor you buy from before you buy. Be patient and wait for Group Buys. I did that for my RTT and was able to save $$$. Paying extra for quality parts is always better in the long run. Tacoma World has been an invaluable resource for me. I've saved time, money, and learned how to do things myself from this website and many members are more then willing to share their knowledge when asked. Good luck and enjoy your Tacoma...
