    Got a $25 gift Amazon gift certificate from my son, to whom I recently gifted a ‘15 SR5 AC, in part so I could spring for an 18 TRD OR, the truth be told. But anyway, to the point, what would you do for a license plate frame—white/silver on black, the opposite, maybe “Tacoma” or “TRD” lettering? It may seem trivial, but the license plate is a focal point on the truck, no?

    Suggestions for color combinations and text, please? Photos?

    So uh, is that a vanity plate? Are you Hick #258? Or is that unfortunate luck?

    Ordered a vanity plate to get rid of this HCK abomination. But what about the getting a frame that matches up with the black & silver?

    This is a tough life decision.

    Blackout your letters and get rid of the dealer advertising. Maybe a fav sports team frame? VTEC power to screw with people? Strippers?

    Hahaha! Take "Toyota" emblem off, fill in "Tacoma" letters on the tailgate, debadge the doors and add a body kit to change vehicle lines.
    Dude, you are advertising without getting sponsored lol. All day every day. Nike shoes and everything else.

    I just have the Toyota of Cedar Rapids frame since they are the best dealer in my area. I still have the old Iowa plates. Not a big fan of the new ones!
    I would get the tailgate letters with that Amazon card. Makes the truck look so much better!

    I like the trd license plate frame personally. But the tailgate letters make the biggest difference.09ED2433-3695-418B-AA37-32713F6742DD.jpg

    Stickers on the tailgate handle and the tailgate letters are better than a plate border. IMHO.
