    I don't like the current one so this doesn't really bother me. I'll reserve judgement til I see one with a plate bumper, a little lift, bigger tires, etc because that's the only way I think the current ones look good.

    I still find the 2012 ugly as fuck. This 2014 4Runner falls under the ugly as fuck category as well.

    to many to list, check the build thread
    angry with an overbite, not a fan of the gray color under the grille and the black section that comes off the fogs and angles into the center.

    im sure it has already been said, but it looks too much like a cross between that ugly ass "veloster" and a transformer.

    like all of toyota's redesigns, im sure it will grow on me though

    I think it would look better if the center part of grill was lower. i.e the upper part of gill bigger and lower part smaller. like it should it. other then that i kinda like it.

    ehh. you better believe they have someone watching these forums. to see small things to change. maybe thats kinda what the 4 runner forums where wanting to see. I don’t get on them so i don’t know.

    just like how everyone was/is blacking out the lower valance on the ’05 to ’11 and then on ’12/‘13 it comes black.
