LOVE MY NEW TACOMA!!!

lol... jasmine I would have to agree... lil nervous..

 

wat the heck.. how did I?....I was just tryin to help someone out.. then there is a truck named after me..

 

Omg it was named 4 years ago, 2 trucks ago, re-read my post and calm down lol

 

Alright, I gotta say it out loud. Is this thread a for real?

 

I seriously don't get it? no one named a truck after anyone.. I was sharing my previous trucks names people around here are hostile and weird m not the weird one

 

haha. theres the raptor chick! hows the hunt for a 2013 raptor grill goin? until then ill keep showin mine off

 

oh ok good cuz i was really like "what the hell" right now lol

I already pulled my grill off and sent in the dimensions to get it made at my work its coming out of my pay check!!!! im so excited now i just gotta start the fiberglass part of the project

 

Sooo anyway.. back to my tacoma, does anyone have advise if i should paint my rear bumper black or the same color as my truck?? i cant decide

 

I've been thinking about plasti dipping my bumper black to see how it would look. I'm not a fan of the chrome. As for your speaker problem.

This is what I put in mine. It fit like a glove. I have 2 10" kicker subs in it. I coated the heck out of it with resin before installing to make sure it would hold up. Here is the link.

 

I plasti dipped mine, just b/c it was chrome. And it's helluvah lot cheaper than color matching.

 

i already have a flat 12" kicker but im worried about pulling all that plastic crap from behind the seat.. did it come out easily?

and me neither about the crome its gotta go lol but my truck is magnetic grey and im colornatching the grill so im not sure if i should just do the bumper too.. and then im not sure how black would look.. does anyone know anyone with a magnetic grey truck with a black bumber??

 

how does the plasti dip hold up? and how is it different than spray paint i have never seen it before

 

Like a champ! For almost a year now with zero touch up (even though I keep a can in the back just in case) Here's a guys video doing the front valence and the rear bumper is pretty much the same. It's rubber spray paint lol if you screw up just peel some off or trim a little. I did pretty thick coats just so I wouldn't have to touch it up as much. You can just about spray it on anything

It was pretty easy to remove. I'm sure there's already some info on this site about how to remove them. I also have the magnetic grey. There is a thread here that is just for magnetic grey owners. If there's anyone that has color matched their bumper its going to be there.

I've done ton's of reading on it and some swear by it. I did my rims a couple of days ago and it looks great.

 

cool thanks for the info! i might very well consider it since i am spending so much money so fast it would be nice to save a little bit lol

 

That was fast! and good luck with the fiberglass. when i did my original grill i used pieces of the center cutout and epoxied it into the cuts then used bondo but both come out lookin the same. i personally hate fiberglass.

as far as plastidippin your rear bumper, do it. it is a very cheap mod and lasted almost 2years on my truck with one small touch up. i know my bud Andrew H on here has a MGM with black bumper

 

yeah well the 12-13 grills have a shit load more to cut out unfortunately so fiberglass is my only option.. and i have never done fiberglass so youtube here i come lol im nervous..

and im pretty sure plasti dip is what im going to do with the bumper i went to my autobody shop and they said in order to color match it they would have to send it out to get the chrom stripped off and that alone was 150 and then paint.. im like uh no thank you.. but now im nervous how im going to color match the chrome on the outside of the grill.. i dont know if thats possible.. nd i dont think a plastidipped grill will look good lol maybe im going to have to buy an new painted grill

 

I want to color match my grill as well. You can buy one from the stealership, but I wouldn't recommend it. I found a website a while back but i'm having some problems finding it again that sells the color matched grill. I was going to order one to do my own satoshi but I just don't want to risk messing it up. I'd rather have someone experienced with them do it and pay for the quality.

 

Yeah i was looking for anywhere that sells painted ones online and i couldnt find anyone.. if you find it let me know. ill probably just buy one from the dealership unless its outrageous then i dont know what im going to do.. i dont know anyone that will do a satoshi on a 12-13 do you?
