    Sorry about that, but skid plate is a bit to much.

    Mask off a Punisher, or a biohazard then shoot it black.

    The green doesn't look bad, there's just too much of it compared to the green highlights on other areas of the truck.

    i painted mine metallic blue for a bit and the neat-o effect wore off before the paint was dry. Its a neat idea, but paint it black. when you get a real skid there have the TRD letters green. Then your truck shall rule.

    I really like that green with black, and have since I first saw a picture of it on here. I do think this idea of green tow hooks/black skid, or the other idea of just a green design (skull, biohazard, etc) there would make it match up nicely.

    Mask off something like TRD or some symbol and paint the rest of the plate black.

    Truck looks good, but the skid plate is a little much. Paint it black and you're good.
