    Here is my 2007 Indigo Ink Tacoma! I want to give it a new look, any ideas!? I'm not an off-roader, more of a mall crawler.
    I bought the truck as is, I did have to put new tires on it last year but the wheels are the same.

    There's lots of options to change up your truck it'll all depend on how comfortable you're with diy or if you'll have a professional install which will also be determined by your budget. But i think you're truck already looks good as is as you mentioned it's a mall crawler so you don't need a lot of extra parts that you'll never use to it's potential. Maybe clean it up a bit, restore headlights, polish up the paint, fix some of the plastic trims (rear bumper pad), de-badge the emblems if you want a simpler look.

    What is your budget?

    My truck looked like yours when i got it. First things i did was get rid of the chrome grill and rear bumper. I got painted ones. just look on craigslist or facebook marketplace and you will find something.

    second.....headlights make a huge difference on a car. wetsand and compound yours at the min. And i would also highly suggest taking them apart and painting them. either black, or gunmetal. I did gunmetal since everyone does black.
    picture is of my truck with painted grill, and gunmetal headlights. also, i put yellow film on the fogs......but they burned the film in about 2 years. (also, i was stuck)

    Sliders. Other than wheels and a lift, they will have the biggest change to the overall appearance, plus they will protect you from door dings.

    Debadge. Lose the back window stickers. tint the front side windows. Lose the side window chintzy plastic vent things. Heritage grill. Figure out a paint chipping remedy for the front of the back fender flares.

    Looms good already but l agree, sliders, steps or running boards will make a good change. I actually like the chrome u have, so I would add chrome side steps to tie it all in.

    Yes, walmart.com is like an Amazon marketplace. I almost went into shock when I saw the price and triple checked that it was for the pair!!
