    On my Easter Sunday...
    I Took off the Chrome Tacoma emblems. I finally installed my custom side vinyl pieces!! Let me know what you guys think. Pretty sure I am the only one that has this.
    The vinyl is extra thick to help against rock's and such. Took me 5 hours to install it lol

    I am on the fence with rocker panel vinyl. Doesn't look horrible, but not sure I want Tacoma on my tail gate and rocker panels.

    One reason I took the chrome emblems off. I could not imagine it saying Tacoma twice on each side. the Rear stamped Tacoma is not very noticeable unless I get the letter fillers.

    I have to say I hate stickers and emblems but that is pretty damn classy! I bet it will prevent stone chips and crap like that too. Very nice!

    I think if u added black side mirror caps and added the vinyl to the rear portion of the lower bed that matches the rocker panel by rear bumper it would look better. The black to quicksand color ratio is off.

    a lot
    Is the Tacoma vinyl or cut out?

    I think doing the rear by bumper would tie it off plus give you protection there too

    Oh also get the side marker vinyl sticker for the side of the headlight in mat black from @rrentrop that will look fantastic and give the front that touch of black that is needed.

    Mask off and Plasti-Derp the short section of the bed between the rear of the cab and the front edge of the rear fender flare at the same height on the side of the bed, just to tie the two together visually.. Just a thought...

    I am thinking about the Black vinyl piece that goes on the center of the hood. That with the grill and chin should be enough for the front. I also have a guy on here making matte black TRD 4X4 OFF-ROAD for the back

    Looks good. Maybe a red pin strip to match the bedside decal?

    I agree with everyone saying to do the rear near the tail light under the groove. This is unique and looks pretty sweet actually. Nice work!

    That will look sweet too! Can you get a piece for after the rear tire?
