Did I overdo it on the decals?

    I think the style of decals along with the color that doesn't make it look appealing. After having an all black truck that's debadged, the only decals I plan on putting on the truck to give it color are the ivan stewarts bed decals like these:

    What kind of decal is on the front passenger door, with the "TACOMA" ? What does it represent?? Is it a ship?
    Personally, I would lose the decals on both doors.

    Stickers reflect the taste of the owner. Taste is one of the 5 senses. It's not good to lose any sense.

    Stickers on race vehicles that pay the owner contingency money when they place in an actual event? Those are good sense.

    One of the ugliest cars I saw in my autox days had a 8" high Tire Rack windshield decal. Turned out the guy was a national class champion, and Tire Rack kept him in free Hoosiers. I'd sticker up for that too.

    Wouldn't be so bad if they were on there straight. Painters tape is your friend when putting on decals. Use it to make straight lights or mark distances from things. I.e. you could have spaced your hood decals a width of tape way from the scoop so they'd be even and not lopsided spacing. Same thing w/ the back of them, put a strip along the back of the scoop so they're both the same distance front to back. I like the windshield one.

    Well thanks again Toyota friends for all your opinions and advice along with comments I will definitely do some thinking on some of those things however these were just temporary decals I got the real ones coming in so those will be on straight as an arrow I just wanted to give it a test run and see what y'all guys. However it won't be as many decal stickers Azure is right now

    Long as you're happy. Seriously , if anyone gets bent about the decals on your truck, they need to rethink their fragile feelings.

    No maybe you can fit another decal in the rear window that says Tacoma, that way people know from all angles you’re driving a Tacoma. What’s SR X anyways?
