    After owning my Super White DCLB TRD 4x4 for two months I got tired of squinting into the sun from the reflection thrown off by the hood, particularly the hood scoop, so I decided to do something about it. I had KB Signs (a local graphics shop) apply flat black vinyl to the hood, but in a stylish, factory look design. The results are very pleasing and best of all, no more glare! Price was very reasonable at under $250.

    Looks great, good way to break up all that white.

    I did a variation on this, had a carbon fiber wrap done to my roof, very pleased with it.

    Looks great. :cool:

    And very effective to boot. :thumbsup: They do that with the Trooper cruisers and a lot of the State DOT vehicles up here. The vinyl application is a smart way to go.

    My taco is MGM. I was thinking of a other color besides black son it would stand out a little more. Figured to long as it was a flat color it should still dull the reflection. Maybe a dark red?
