    Hey Everyone!!

    As of 7pm tonight (EST) I have traded in my civic SI for a 2020 Tacoma TRD Sport! Needed something to tow my new boat with ;)

    I was pretty active on the Civic forums, so my first question on here, without diving too deep into the pages yet: any absolute Day 1 things that should be done to this thing?

    current setup:
    LED light package
    Blackout emblems
    Mud flaps
    Upgraded audio

    thanks for any tips in advance!

    Welcome to TW! Great looking truck:thumbsup:.
    As was said before I agree about getting rid of the air dam. Other than that tinting the front windows is a great first mod in my opinion.
    Warning: on TW you will see, hear about, and probably want to do mods you never thought could exist. Welcome to the cool taco gang.

    The air dam removal is an aesthetic / ground clearance thing. It was designed to reduce drag, but omitted on the OR model to maintain ground clearance. You may see reduced MPG as a result, but most haven't seen much of a difference.

    My advice is to drive the truck and while and read up on mods that appeal to you. There's no once size fits all approach, and much will depend on your personal preference and how you use the truck (daily driver / recreational only).

    Welcome and enjoy!
