    Hey guys, I have a 2007 taco TRD off road and I just want it to look more trick. I like the satoshi grill and am probably going to get one, but what else do you guys think I can do or what have you done to make your taco look amazing?


    Thanks!!!:D:D:D:D

    This.

    I would remove some of the emblems and, depending on the color of the truck, black out the rest. Look at some of Sockmonkeys decals, he's got some cool stuff. There's a million and one things you can do.

    Big brother posting in.
    The truck is a black '07 TRD O/R, and we're collecting ideas for making it look cleaner and more aggressive without lifting, giant tires, etc.

    Going through the responses:
    Nah, not a great look AFAIC
    Gonna paint it along with the Satoshi grills :)
    Probably gonna black powder coat the TRD O/R rims, new tires soon, Not gonna lift the truck
    actually JUST finished several days of polishing (fixing the awful swirls the delaer put in it :( ) and it looks flawless. I took some pics of before, during, and after; I'll post them tomorrow.
    BLHM, BLTM are on the list of possibilities, as are eyelids. Doing a Satoshi grill. Mud flaps, antenna already gone... Tint possibly.

    Also thinking about doing some painting of interior panels (black), maybe an XR bumper or painting the steel one, black caliper paint, scangauge, BLTMing the taillights and smoking them to get rid of the stupid pink, new HU.

    Also, can you still get shorty headers for the 4L? I looked on the DT website, and they're not there, which makes me think no. Not trying to get gobs of power from the engine (I know that's futile without going Supercharged), but we might aim for a little bit of a sound increase - shorties, and maybe a triple-chamber muffler like a Flowmaster 70.

    Thanks for all the productive responses!

    Too late... We're both already bitten! We've got a MINI Cooper thats almost unrecognizable from the day it came home.

    The nice thing is that a lot can happen visually with this truck with a little amount of money. Patience, a few Dremel wheels, some sealant, and a few cans of spray paint will change the lights, the front valance, calipers, and interior for the better. That'll take enough time to earn some money, or at least get closer to the holidays :p
