    Many of us have expressed a note of minor dissatisfaction with:
    1) Canopy overlap over the rear quarter panels on the truck, and,
    2) Proximity of the TRD decals 'under ' the overlap.

    Here's some options for aesthetics.
    A) Replace and relocate the TRD decals with any other style you might like and,
    B) Dress the lower edge of the canopy.
    Again, purely for looks.

    I've been looking at stripe kits for mine for the last week. Great minds.

    Probably the best looking snugtop install I've seen on a stickered truck.

    I agree. I will be doing the same thing. Looks really nice.

    If you go with A.R.E., get the trimless option. Much cleaner look.

    Pretty snug when they're keeping you warm and dry while sleeping in them.

    Not sure what you what you mean "not that snug". Mine is sealed tighter than a ...... well, tight. Dry as a bone inside. That includes around all the windows, sills, and rear hatch.
    Anyone ask me for recommendations, mine will be easily forthcoming.

    That actually looks pretty good. I like how the striping breaks up the white. Good placement of the stickers as well

    The TRD decals which come on a white Tacoma are red and black. So given the opportunity to relocate new ones, I opted for black and grey.
