    Thanx Justin! Sorry but wasn't planing on doing anymore. Took me long enough to do just one. Besides it looks ok in the picture but its a little rough in person.Haha
    Yes i know its called "Hitachi" but 95% of people know it as "rising sun". Try googling "hitachi" and all that shows up is about the company. Then try googling "rising sun". :D
    Thanx RMAN! Yes i should have made it darker. Didn't realize that until i put it back on. Haha
    Thanx everyone for your comments good and bad. I appreciate them all. :D
    As for all of you that requested a picture with the light on i did not make the tint dark enough so you can hardly even see it with the light on.:( If it redo it darker then i'll put a picture up.

    Don't like it. Gives me flashbacks of civic's on stretched tires and the rising sun painted under their hood. :burnrubber:

    I think that it's pretty cool, not something I'd put my my truck though.

    Good work OP.

    Whoa, Sorry but I didn't mean to offend or bring up bad memories for anybody.:(
    I should have just posted this on the Hawaii section. Believe me over here it's not a big deal. Like RMAN said they sell clothes and stickers here all over the place.:D

    Not offended at all. No political feelings. Just not my cup of tea. I wouldn't want to do anything with my 3rd brake light

    I like the look of the light, but yeah, there are still people that have a bad reaction to that image.

    Arent all Tacomas US made? It seems a US flag would be more accurate.
