    Bought this brand new Tacoma SR5 Sport in June. Was actually shopping for 4Runner 2012 but inventory were low everywhere and waiting list was too long and had fishing trips coming. Got to this dealer show room and had this Tacoma, was thunder stroke... Forest Green with this awsome vinyl wrap snake skin.
    Now have some mod project and want to start with the heated mirror...

    Thank you all for sharing your Tacoma stories!

    Guys, it is a snakeskin vinyl wrap. You notice i do not have a hood deflector its because this wrap is not only estetic but also protect the paint quite efficiently specially for someone like me that drive up gravel roads quite often. So protecting paint help maintaining truck value. No glue, just chemical activation. Can be removed without damaging the paint, just a buff and its brand new.
