    So we have taken some measurements and are in the process of developing retro graphics. I wanted to do something that hasn't been done before. Wanted some input!

    I saw this old truck and absolutely love the design. makes me think of my old toyota pickup.

    The design is still in the works and we are looking for a local willing to let us slap a set of these on his Taco. Harder to find local people that want a free set of retros than you'd think

    Did you mock up a version that followed the fender flares a little further, maybe where they start flowing down to the rocker panel?

    Looks like there was a little more flow on the originals.

    We wanted to keep them high on the fender, there are so many bends in the body from the top of the fender to closer to the rockers, installation would be difficult. We may be able to move them back further but not by to much

    Cool. I figured there was a good reason for it, I just didn't know what it was. :)

    subbd! move them back some. on the pickup it looks like the last strip on the front is on that back of the fender anyway. it would be a little more accurate

    The other fenders on that original are round and it makes it look like they are further back, I can pull them further back to give more illusion

    When we roll out with them we are gonna have them for both Gen 1 and Gen 2. Just trying out a few different designs and looking for input. We should have them within the next couple weeks just need a truck to finalize the designs on so when we ship there wont be any problems with applications.

    I like it. Sub'd. Would be interesting to see graphics like this on a modern Taco. I always thought Ironman Stewart race truck type graphics would look good on a modern Super White.
