Decepticon_Inferno BS Thread

It was my daughter's suggestion to turn the truck into a Decepticon and we created an instagram account from the truck's point of view as a bit of Father/Daughter bonding.

Picked up the Tacoma in January 2017 from Heffner Toyota in Kitchener Ontario.

Waterloo represent. Now all you need is the decepticon logo

 

I was considering something like that! But with an inferno orange on the glare reducing vinyl that covers the scoop. Would like to find a local vinyl guy to do it.
My three badges are less overt. two hide right next to the TRD badging on the read fenders and on the back glass, I have a black on black large 'Con symbol.

 

You know Westmount Signs and printing right by the police station? they'll do one for you in any colour you want. Im good friends with the graphic designer there and she makes all my stickers

 

I'm going to have to look them up. My google-fu was lacking on finding a place so thanks!!

Jeebus! that's only 5 minutes from home!!

 

She just got back to me 15 bucks for the same size of one I have. its a 10" x 10".

 

Who should I be asking for? I have the glare issue on the hood that all the TRD Sport/Pros have so I'm looking for a solution that takes up 1/2-2/3 of the hood.

 

Hmm good question. I get some glare on mine from time to time but normally I just suck it up. I thought about putting a giant ass single sheet over the hood.

 

I considered the whole hood. but with the scoop and how much I really enjoy the colour of the truck, figured something that would accent it versus covering up that oh so nice inferno. Below is a quick outline of the area I'd want to put the black vinyl on

 

Yea I like it. Ill be meeting up with her maybe tomorrow? so I'll giver her very rough measurements and see what she comes back to me with

 

Sweet. The 401 west bound through cambridge is treacherous enough as it is without me also having to squint because of the glare off the hood! haha

You ever look at these folks?

reconsidering RCI skids for theirs. Support one of our own and all that jazz

 

Never even heard of them to be honest. They like their aluminum though haha
for lights if you want to support local-ish, theres a company called speeddemon lighting. all their stuff is backed by a lifetime guarantee. Watch out for a company called core outfitters @tacoma16 has more to say about the whole thing but he's screwed people out of thousands of dollars

 

Oh I've heard about C.O.R.E. completely shocked that someone hasn't taken back some of the money owed via his knees and hands old Chicago style

 

There is a thread on core if you need to read about it. Just google “warning about core outfitters. A thread on here should come up.

 

I pop into that thread occasionally with my bowl of popcorn and watch the rage boil over at the canadian legal system or the schmuk's current attempts at fraud on facebook.

 

Just saw this on http://wraparmor.com/gallery/overland/ which is virtually what I had in mind other than the notch leading to the scoop.

 

I just looked for the thread, has it been deleted?

 

It’s there

https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/warning-about-core-outfitters-inc-review-page.524309/

 

I found it. Had to use google. Didn't come up in TW search for some reason.

 

Hey did you hear back from her?
