    Been working on this lately finally finished it. I got bored of seeing Tundra's on the track, so what about a Tacoma! Well, here it is!

    Very nice!!

    What did you use to make that with? And more importantly..how long did it take?

    That looks pretty damn professional (in my un-educated peepers).

    Thanks man, I used photoshop to paint the truck using a F150 template since it fitted the tacoma's profile better. Took me about a day, i actually have other alternative paint schemes as well like my TRD scheme

    Looks like you're pretty new to the forum (5 posts) - so WELCOME!!

    If you don't already do that for a living...you should consider it!! You gotta have a good understanding (and practice) at using Photoshop to make stuff look like that!

    That is really well-done. Im impressed. I try to stay caught up on what Toyota is doing in NASCAR. Its nice to see them with the manufacturer's championship in the Nationwide series, but its disappointed what has happened to Gibbs and especially Kyle Busch in Cup. Im sure they will bounce back and make another run at the championship next year though.

    Thanks for all the comments guys. Photoshop is great when you learn it , its a photographer and/or graphic designers best friend and since i am both, well, it's my best friend, well Sort of, other than my truck of course :p As for Kyle Busch and the Gibbs team, i'm not really a big fan of Gibbs, personally I don't like the drivers of that team except for Denny, Kyle and Tony i could go without;) Anyway, here's a couple of shots of my alt paint scheme, not much different, except for the Orange roof numbers and the TRD logo instead of the Toyota logo

    Well, Kyle still has some growing up to do, he is definetly one of the most talented drivers and Im glad he is behind the wheel of a Toyota.
    As far as Tony, well, Im not a Tony Stewart fan either and Im glad that he will be leaving Gibbs and Toyota after this season. Chevy can have him!
