    ^^^I like those...looks awesome against the white truck. That's just one old guy's (to you) opinion. I'm thinking about debadging my truck this Summer. Something like that on the doors I'd consider doing on mine. Now you've got me thinking serious about a Satoshi grill. Looks Great!

    Just give it some time
    While I feel that's a look a lot of women would go for, I don't think it's girlie. That right there will probably help ya with the ladies. Why do you think so many fat guys drove Beetle's? Girls loved those things.

    I personally really like it and think you should go for it just like in you OP. Gives your truck a unique look that is truly your own, and to me, that's the most important thing. I say go for it, man. Rock that beast and be you.

    Added extra awesomeness to its original awesomeness.
    I like the new one, but it looks too similar to the regular Tacoma font and this defeats your truck being different. I like the idea of a script, but something a little different than what you originally had.

    IMHO, and don't blast me for this. I like the script better on the sides. I think it stands out a little better. and the Coalition (block) font for the grill.

    There's a fine line between ghetto and cool. I think you crossed it. That kind of font doesn't mesh well with the truck as is. If your going for a 4x4 look then you need something traditional. If your going for a street look then your on the right track. But I don't think you can mix the styles. Since you asked, I like the traditional 4x4 look. I'm not into the street look.

    My two cents says that if you are questioning your decision then don't do anything yet. Wait around and mull it over for a couple more weeks. Go to that font place and choose 30 different versions. Then narrow it down.

    Choosing what your truck looks like certainly is up to you, but you do take into consideration what others think also.
    If you want to pull the trigger and choose something that a lot of people think will
    looks "girlie" and that bothers you, then don't do it. But once you make your decision
    and you absolutely love it, it will grow on people and they'll start emulating you.
