    Made my first mod to the Taco today. I got sick and tired of looking at that "ugly stock" windshield. Got one of those fancy sun shades. Here are the before and after pictures.

    Pretty cunning, don't you think?

    A few additions to make me feel cool.
    LOL, good job. They are good shades. They are a bit of a PITA because they do not fold up very small but they work well and hold up. They reduce the interior temp in my truck about 30 degrees in the middle of the summer. I see you have the carpet dash cover also. Makes you look old but it's worth it. Also you can put some velcro patches on the dash cover if you want to look cool. Not sure everyone is gonna support this being a mod but most will at least give you a solid accessory.

    What a waste of money. You don't appear to have any sun where you live.

    If I put that sunshade on the front, I would want something to cover the side windows. Then you could do private things inside the truck more.

    Y’all are terrible lol. OP don’t take offense everyone on here is a sarcastic jackass. Including myself so did have to do any cutting for this to fit? In all seriousness could use this in the summer with the black interior and leather.

    I just tinted the full windshield in 50% ceramic. No sunshade needed... Nothing to put up or take down... And unlike a sunshade, tint actually does increase horsepower and increase fuel economy.

    You can get a discount if you tell the dealership you just want to take it and install it yourself sometimes. I did that with the bed mat and they gave me a discount. But then I asked about the spare lightbulbs and they would not give me a discount for them. Or the wiper blades.
