Do these decals add 10hp?

    I've had these sitting in my garage for almost a year now. Someone backed into my rear quarter panel and bumper over a year ago. When the insurance company fixed it, I told them to take the old TRD Sport decals off both sides and I would install new ones myself to save some money. (I also did the rear bumper myself with an aftermarket one and saved another $200 vs stock.)

    These are supposed to be for 2016+ models, but I figured I would see what they looked like on my '15. I think it turned out pretty good. They don't quite match the fender flares, because the second gen squares off more at the back end.

    I still think it looks good. I haven't seen anyone else with them.

    What do you guys think? PXL_20210405_181107565.jpg PXL_20210405_181055256.MP.jpg

    Like, so many.
    I would guess at least 10. Need to put it on a dyno to be sure.

    The decals were $50. I can't afford the dyno, so I'm just going off of "feel". LoL!

    Subtlety is a lost art, but I can’t say I hate them.

    I think they look great. Big graphics have toyota truck thing going back to the 80s. I was looking at those 3rd gen ones and wondered how they would fit on a 2nd gen. The seller never got back to me so now i have something like this in the works. Pardon my poor samsung phone editor picture.20210406_082010.jpg
