    So ... I'm looking at this tailgate appliqué (abs panel) but I can't find any real info. The seller says it fits 06-19 Tacomas but I'm thinking that's BS and he means 2016-2019 models. I asked the seller if this was a mistake and he claims that it is accurate.

    Does anyone think this might contour to a 05-15 tailgate? If I knew it would fit I'd buy it in a second and have it color-matched.

    Handle opening is too big for ours.

    Honestly I dont think it would look right... I dont think it matched the contour of the tailgate and I feel like it would look like those fake chrome stickers people buy from walmart and put on astro vans...

    Seems like it was designed for the 3rd Gen; designed to display the "Tacoma".. TegoTaco's right, the opening for the tailgate handle is too large. I'm going to also guess the curvature is different. I wouldn't chance that and buy it.

    No I definitely won't chance it unless they show a picture of it on a 2nd gen. I just think they look pretty smooth on the new Raptors.

    The only thing I like better on the 3rd gen is the tailgate. I was looking to make our tailgate look more like a 3rd gen.
