    So.... they added more skewps? Look at those ugly fender skewps.
    Unless those 'skewps' are functional in that they air is allowed to pass through them, it looks like it's going to be like going down the road with small parachutes. WTF?

    Nice job with the photo shop! Still looks ugg in my opinion. The squinty eyes and gaping pie hole make it look like it ate something rancid.

    I'd be OK with it, because I'd keep the projector headlights and replace the bumper with steel. :p

    Hell I'd rock it.

    You guys all hate it now, but next thing you know you'll see them rolling down the road and will want one of your own. Same thing happened with the new Tacomas... Everyone hated it but now the consensus seems to be that it's not that bad.

    The down fall with that is it looks like the grille and bumper are one piece.

    Uh no. I've liked all the Tacos' styles to date - some more than others, but that is pathetic.

    OME and worth every penny.
    Can't cover those "Juke" headlights w/ a plate bumper. I've never bought a 2nd gen Taco because of all these crazy angles, triangular wheel openings. They're losing it for me. Last Good looking truck was the 1st gen. Tundra.

    Neg. There's a seam on the grille surround. It's about the same height as the lower edge of the headlights. The plate bumper just has to come up higher, similar to what Relentless did with the 2012+ Taco bumper.
