    You are invisible. You can travel anywhere without being spotted or noticed. People are trained to memory hole the white Tacoma like it was never there. Embrace it.

    A few additions to make me feel cool.
    Save up some money and upgrade the wheels and tires. That is the best way to improve the look of the base taco. Other than that, just put miles on it and save money to enjoy life. Remember the cool dude in the fancy truck probably has a $1,300 payment and pays with credit at Taco Bell.

    Long term keep an eye out for a white higher optioned truck and get color matched bumpers and grille. If you really want to stand out look for a sport hood with the fake scoop. If you manage to throw all those things together at a reasonable cost then you will have a really unique little 5 lug.

    instructions unclear - are you asking how to stand out with no budget (free mods)? Or how to stand out with an unlimited budget? Because either way, the options are unlimited.

    No budget: break all glass, sledge every body panel including roof bc why not, pee on it
    Unlimited budget: break all glass, sledge every body panel including roof bc why not, pee on it, buy a new fancy truck that stands out

    Anonymity is a superpower, embrace it. That way if you rob a bank and use the funds to buy a posh car no one will be able to describe the getaway car!

    Keep it meticulously maintained in that condition.

    Don't waste your money on mods, period. Make your money work for you by putting it in an interest earning account.
