    Hood Scoop Lit up Toyota Logo(WIP) Full RGB fog lights(WIP)
    Hey all,

    Following the newbie guidelines, I'm Brad and I just picked up a 2018 TRD Sport.
    This is my first new car, previously I killed 3 Volvos, a Grand Cherokee, a Civic and a Sonoma. I still have a 99 Ranger with custom hood risers, a light bar held on by 10 gauge wire, a 5 cylinder (6-1) , semi automatic (no speed sensor the transmission just guesses), pop out dash ( broke all the clips ).... you get the point a guy can have alot of fun with 500$ (pics to follow)

    So I'm hoping to keep the modifications to this truck more sane and less destructive. Currently I'm working on a TOYOTA logo with 57 individually addressable LED's in it, and I designed and assembled a lighting unit for video use at work, and noticed I could make it fit where the fog lights are, so i'm sure I'll give that a shot.

    Looking forward to joining the community!
