    So I picked up my taco Sat and love it,

    Found some paint defects and the Service manager said Toyota would probably repair it but the bed has to be removed, its some trash that got under the clear coat and was coated over and buffed, It's on the pass side right at the b-pillar, you see it every time you go for that door, I am so OCD, lol, and just don't know what to do, as they had another exact model truck, but I didn't think I needed to walk around each one and checked factory paint before deciding on one, now I worked for dealers for 10 years in service, i know the result could look even worse then the factory finish, seen it so many times, unfortunately.

    They have offered a part at thier cost, as an option, I have to browse online and ask,

    part of me wants that TRD shift kit...

    Your thoughts on this are welcome...

    Thanks in advance,

    The metal flake in the silver would be hard to match.

    I agree, The last thing I need is to walk up to it and see different shades from the bed to the cab to the door, lol...

    I sent an email and want a "package deal" on the cargo net, bed matt and two bike fork mounts, so we'll see how much it is lower than retail price.

    If I had loads of cash to blow I'de be all over asking for cost on a set of black TRD wheels, I saw a set on a black truck this weekend that they DID NOT mount the bead lock part to and they looked great!
