    Yesterday I finally got my new Taco home and I couldn't be more Psyched! The process of making it into just the truck I want began about a minute after taking this picture. So far I have blacked out the badges, have led interior lights installed and put in the shiftsense. Basic stuff so far, but more to come. I'll update this thread for anyone who is interested.

    Looks awesome man! Just got my BAMF grille and hopefully installing this weekend.

    Just curious- Did you reinforce the plastic with bondo or anything before you installed the insert? The install thread mentioned doing it to prevent possible cracking and I'm wondering if I should or not.
    Any suggestions?

    I did reinforce, in the area where the crack showed on the images posted here, below the "A" and on the opposite side. Used the kit they suggested, pretty easy while I was doing everything else. Having a small paintbrush and tablespoon measure you can sacrifice is helpful. Unless you have very small fingers, I'd suggest some needle nose pliers for a couple of those bezel clips.

    HIDs from xenondepot, which match the led running lights very well and cast a nice line. Put black valve stem covers on too, but it's hard to see, which is the point.
