    Alright guys, I just have a simple question. Being that I have such a long truck, I feel like it's so plain and boring. I wish I got a TRD with the scoop, mirror turn signals and such for the sharper look but I can add all that later.

    Do I want to stick some Sr5 stickers on it? I don't want TRD stickers because it's not a TRD.

    I say stick with the clean look and take off your badges as well.

    My old car was completely stripped of anything but blue paint. That's why I'm having the toss up. I kinda like the look of the stickers, but I like cleanliness too!

    If you feel like your truck looks to long, you need to remove anything that moves the eye down the length of the truck, adding stickers on the bed side could work so long as they are not long and thin themselves. the other thing you could look at is adding things or decals of some kind that move the eye up or down to another "line" in the side of the truck. Adding a rack or box to the bed will shorten the bed line. removing the tacoma side badges will make the doors seem taller by taking the accent off the lower door line visually. there are lots of little things you could do. The chrome grill and the chrome lights blend visually making the nose look longer, maybe a BHLM?

    Maybe try a vinyl wrap with graphics? My cousin did it on his FJ to promote his business and give the tub a little something.

    Good Ideas, I will be doing a BHLM and retrofit some day. As well as adding a tonnaeu cover, TRD hood, step bars, bull bar, vent shades and maybe a bug guard / aeroskin. So eventually things will come together.

    Lol good point

    It would have to be a really good looking graphic for me to like it. The one above reminds me of the new nissan frontiers with the decals on the bed.
    But I went double cab, long bed as it has the most uses. I knew when I bought it I liked the short bed look more, but that extra foot of bed can make a big difference some times

    Or the Baja Tacoma perhaps?

    I hear you though, graphics are not for everyone. I wouldn't either, but you can design your own.
