    Was just thinking about this this morning as I keep seeing T4R Pros and love the front. It's the blacked out entire center section that does it for me. Some creative folks on here, was curious if anyone had ever attempted to replicate the look. I've seen a few of the front end swap threads and it looks dumb IMO.

    Would need a body color matched panel to sit next to the fogs to complete the look. Something sorta similar to those tiny pieces that fill in the gap under the headlights. That plus some vinyl, or plastidip. Quick photoshop below of what I'm talking about.

    I think it could be a lighting thing/editing on their part that makes it seem not as apparent. In broad daylight it probably looks kind of weird

    just plastidip it to see if you like it. If you dont pull it off. If you do then I would just get someone to do a vinyl wrap like that so you can remove it if you ever want it back to stock

    I think it’s cool and unique to the Tacoma. Reminds me of the front end of some Nissan GTRs or mustangs.

    Its funny how all the ones shitting on it and such are the ones who probably think those big ugly steel bumpers that you put on the truck look great and just looks like a HUGE frowny face on front of the truck. I guess cause those are super hardcore they like them when in reality the ones who add them still probably dont even need them they just want to look like they are hardcore off roaders
