    2017 XSP
    Greetings everyone,

    I recently purchased a 2017 XSP. I wasn't in the market but the dealer offered me an outrageous amount for my older truck, so I gave in. I wanted a TRD PRO for years but this particular dealer only had the XSP and a Limited. So, I went with the XSP as I didn't need a moonroof and the XSP had less miles (39k).

    I removed the XSP fender flares, changed headlights, and added the trd pro grill with raptor lights. Was thinking about debadging it and upgrading suspension with some Bilstein components and leveling it.

    Welcome to any suggestions or just thoughts on it. I still feel like the XSP badging looks strange.

    Thanks!

    I had no idea there was such a package. apparently it was in the Georgia area? So weird how they come up with these regional options. I think you did a great job cleaning that truck up. It looks really good now. Little cheesy with those flares and grill that were on originally.

    Yeah, that badging is kinda goofy looking. I like those fender flares with the bolts, but they need wider wheels/tires. I might have kept those.

    Nice truck. :thumbsup:

    IMO lose the decals on the bedsides but keep the badges on the doors.
    It's an XSP which makes it somewhat unique, so keeping some of the more subtle badges may make sense.
    Nice truck by the way.

    I think what you have done looks great. I’d be on the fence taking off the decals. I’d keep them being less common.

    Thanks guys. I appreciate the feedback. I think they went a little crazy with the xsp badging on the original grill, door, bedside decal, and tailgate lol. I did remove the decal from the bedside because it was a little faded but may replace with a matte black one just to be a little less "in your face". Its a pretty solid ride even though it's not as loaded as the Pro. I know it'll hold its value and be a dependable ride that looks good so that's all that matters....until I need a locking differential lol.
