    The "T" in TRD looks crooked. Other than that I like it.

    So does that mean you don't intend to use it?

    Or you just want to see where it makes contact?

    It looks like that from the dip in the skidplate

    Just seeing this. It looks great....I was thinking about doing the same with my 3rd gen. I know this is like 8 years later, but what did you use to paint it and what color? I'm assuming rust-oleum?

    Would be easier if you bought a large TRD decal.

    has anyone done this with a 3g base skid plate? Curious to know what it looks like. I think the 2g skid plate looks better than the 3g in general.
