    The green highlights are great! That green skid pan on the other hand is distracting all attention toward it.

    It's a bit much for the eyes. Hell, it might even glow in the dark at night

    Like the green!

    What about a darker shade of green for the skid instead of such a...vibrant green?

    Added extra awesomeness to its original awesomeness.
    The green is a little much for me, but I like it for you. I've thought of adding an another color too, just not so bright. It will probably be a pain to keep that green looking clean too.

    I guess it depends on how old you are...I did a lot of stuff like that to my vehicle in high school. If you are out of high school ...I would paint it black..IMO lol

    Gonna paint it black today. I liked it when I first did it a few weeks ago but now that's what catches everyone's attention. And no, I'm not in high school, graduated 11 years ago.

    Every time I look at my truck, that's where my eyes first go so I feel that it draws attention away from everything else and I don't want that, especially when my satoshi grill should be here in a week or so, got the devil horn emblem to put on it, and completed d2s retro's to put in just waiting on an hid kit before I put them in. Oh and I have a 3" toytec lift, just waiting on tires...I need to have a mod day here at the house, lol

    Sounds like a sweet set up. Should be a fun mod day!

    Okay I have something to say and it might as well be on this thread cause i have seen it many times but I feel that being a member on here I have the right to say this. Granted he asked for our opinions but what does it making you throw up have to do with anything? Ever heard if ya can't say anything nice don't say it at all. God forbid I want you guys to give your opinion on something. aren't we all here cause we really like our trucks? Now would I be the type to do a long travel build?.. No cause thats not what I would ever use my truck for.. do i go into every long travel thread and bash on why i don't like it?... NO to each is own and i don't feel if you are going to put down anyones likes or dislikes you really aren't considered a tacoma friend of mine. we are here to build each other up and give advice.. such as i did.... did i like the painted skid plate not really but i also gave my advice on it and what i would do.. So why don't we all just realize what we are really here for and not to tell an OP that it made u throw up or any other comment other than yes or no when thats all he really asked for...so take it for what its worth to you TW members.

    He asked for peoples opinions, and this is the internet. You not gonna like it here if that, which is mild, bothers you. Maybe the guy really threw up :notsure: But you can't let comments like that bother you. Best thing to do is ignore it. :thumbsup:

    true but if i was the OP and i ask for honest opinions I would be feeling like crap and can't say I would ever help someone out that expressed theirselves in that manner... throwing up isn't an opinion and the high school remark i feel were out of line and its not just in this thread that i see it.. i have just had enough of seeing all of us put down someone over what they like are have done to their truck
