    IMG_2320.jpg Got mine installed this evening and these things are awesome! They fit very well and only had to do very minor trimming. Thank you Brian for going out on a limb to make these without taking any money upfront. Hope you can make this into something lucrative. IMG_2322.jpg

    Progress is steady but slow. This time of year my detailing business really picks up so haven't been able to work on these lately. I will still make more then I have time and yes I am still planning on making a 3rd gen and 1st gen version. Stay tuned

    My wife and I used to take her car to a place that did oil changes as I don't have a garage and I have on street parking . Her car is a '07 Mazda 3 (sweet little car imo) and the underneath is completely covered by a piece of plastic that has these plastic screws attaching it to the car , so you have to remove it to drain the oil. Well some half wit at the oil change place decided it was a good idea to CUT A BIG HOLE in this cover so he doesn't have to remove it to drain the oil !!! I didn't realize it at first until after the fact . Needless to say we don't go there anymore !

    Like who f'in cuts into someone car ! I did bitch at them and they denied even doing it but the car wasn't taken anywhere else since the last time it was changed . So you have to inspect there work on the spot to hold them accountable

    Not to change the subject or highjack the thread lol

    Update on durability: Truck = Totaled. Suspension bent, cracked, snapped, twisted. BUT these CF Aprons were 100% fine. I was actually really surprised they were not broken or at least cracked.

    Guy ran a red and tagged my passenger side wheel and sent me through a tree and over a curb into some bushes. I walked away without a scratch .... my poor Taco is dead tho. Might be trying to get the TRD Pro if everything works out

    Yes I do, wrecking my last Taco and buying the new one set me back a while, but I am also training for a Mt Whitney hike in Oct so Im working Mon-Fri and hiking ever weekend from now till Oct. I will do my best to pop some more out, and now that I have a 3rd gen I can start on those too. I will keep you all posted.

    I'd be interested if you made some carbon fiber fender liners. I think that would be flipping sweet.
