    Hey,
    This is my first Tacoma. I picked her up Thursday afternoon. 2016 sr5 4x2 navigation w/ parking sensors. She's blazing blue pearl and I love her. I'm in the middle of dipping the chrome bumper end caps (why did Toyota think that was a good idea?), dipping the emblems & grill, and I've swapped the interior lights for led. If you know any more quick mods to improve the look and feel let me know.

    I thought about getting the vinyl inserts for the back but I think I'm going to see how I feel in a few weeks. Wife's already pissed I tore it apart in under a week.

    I don't know about the wheels. They are that grayish color and I think it looks alright for now. Plus I've never really liked black wheels.
