    Well when I bought my Tacoma I must admit I didn't realize how much stuff I wanted to modify, we started as a 07 Tacoma TRD Sport, 4 dr 4x4 stock.
    The first week I modifyed the wheels with some good ol' paint and primer,
    Just recently I decided to take some time to really play with it, Plastidipped the emblems black, made a custom grill and Blacked out the headlights, so far I'm pretty happy with the results!

    What's up next? Lift? Wet Okoles??

    Nice! My truck actually came with a white lower grill valance! I plasti-dipped it to correct the obvious mistake the shop had made when the truck was repainted previously, and put metal Mesh wire over it, maybe I'll get bold and paint the lower Valance it does look pretty sweet!
