    I have a base model 2008 Tacoma that came with a color matched topper. My only issue with it is that the shell is a base model too. ts just bare fiberglass, with that like offwhite paint but you can still see the fiberglass. Whats the best way to make it look nicer, but not horrible expensive? Would bondoing the whole inside then painting it work, or carpeting it?

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.

    Yes. Just wear some pants and long sleeved shirt. Get a fan and put it at the end of the tailgate to exhaust the fumes. Wear a mask so you're not breathing in the fumes. Tape off windows, trim etc and cover anything you don't want glue to get on.

    You can usually find a roll of automotive carpet or speaker box carpet at Walmart or auto parts store.

    I would suggest getting a wide roll like I linked to so the you're not having to deal with a bunch of seams.
