    Hey:

    I am new to TacomaWorld forum but not to the Tacoma truck line. I recently upgraded from a 2011 to a 2017 TRD 4x4 Sport Access Cab. My truck is new and was wondering is it worth me spending the money on getting it coated with Ceramic Pro? Thoughts?? welcome all comments.

    Thanks

    what is the best full exhaust to go with for a 2017 TRD Sport 4x4. Thought I narrowed it down to MBRP, Borla, aFe, or magnaflow

    Welcome aboard! Out of curiosity, what color is your new truck? Id think it might be worth it with darker colors but if white, like your old truck, id say just leave it be, and wax it with some good cleaner wax every month or so

    Welcome! Not sure if ceramic pro is worth it. You definitely need to spend the time for proper prep. I haven't done it myself. However I've heard from the three folks I know that have done it that they had expectations for "zero maintenance" and it turns out there was still effort required to maintain. I'm still in the semi annual detailing regime.

    Honestly I am looking to eliminate or minimize those scratch marks I get at the door handle and the stone chips across the front. They claim it will protect against that stuff...not sure still on the fence

    Welcome! I’d save the money and buy a hood fairing for rock protection and just plasti dip the door handles for scratch protection. A lot cheaper. I plasti dipped the door handles on my white 4runner to black, adds contrast and scratch protection, plus its removable.
