    I'm sure it would look better if the colors all matched, which would be a dark gray to match the lower valence. Perhaps some two tone in the grille? What's the point of valence btw? Especially if it's closed

    Haha, see it was totally different in Denver, quite a few checking out the Tacoma both new and old. A few people really looking underneath the thing or taking pictures. Meanwhile the Colorado and Canyon had hardly anyone and when I sat in the Canyon I thought the dash design that looked good in pictures was cheap and there was tons of fitment gaps all over the cabin and leftover molding flashing on all the plastic. And that is the production truck mind you, not the pre-production Tacoma.

    The tin bumper on my 2013 bends easy enough but at least I can pull it straight with my hands after a strange dodge rubs the corner. The bed has similar design features as the bumper. I think it'll do.

    I think I just vomited in my mouth. Toyota should fire their designers, definitely f**ked up what was a fantastic truck.

    Most of "good looks" in a car developes over time when you become accustomed to the way it performs. BYSA compared to a 2 nd gen it will look better to some when it out accelerates AND gets better gas mileage while doing it.
