    Down here in the souf, people are still stuck up domestic truck's asses, thinking a 4 decade old maxim still applies. They apparently are unaware of the reputation the Taco has in the civilized world.

    Don't get the compliment but I did see an 09-10 red standard cab base model prerunner today. Looked cool because it is so unique and rare. I'm no fan of red vehicles but the new red is great.

    I know what you mean. I have family members (in-laws) who are like that - never received a compliment from any of them. They have called it "Jap-scrap".

    At a family gathering last month, they were all standing around discussing replaced tranny's and other issues in their trucks (Ford 150, Dodge Ram, Chevy 1500). Being the bigger person, I just stood there and smiled. They're just too naive to understand my reasoning. They're all also proud union members (I am anti-union). We get along well :D

    I get compliments on a regular basis. People stare all the time when I drive by. The Speedway Blue is one of the brightest colors on the road. Everyone sees it. We all have some Bad Ass trucks. I think I get more attention now than when I had my Bagged Nissan.

    Fact of the matter is, it is a nice looking truck.

    I get nice comments on all of my vehicles from time-to-time. While I think they are each nice looking, I think what makes any car or truck stand out is when they are clean, have nice wheels/tires, and appear to be well taken care of. From the picture Veccster, it looks like your's fits the description.

    Seatbelt chime turned off, Toyota bedmat, Wet Okoles, stock other than that.
    While I was at the mall yesterday a young guy about my age pulled up in a black 99' Mustang GT with black wheels. The first comment he made when he got out was "That's a nice truck man, I was gonna buy one until I found this Mustang." The Mustang that he was driving was really nice and it did feel good to get a compliment on my truck even though it's nothing extra special and stock. :)

    About every time I go get gas someone comes over and says something, usually about how long the thing will last and how tough they are. I haven't done that much cosmetically, but the debadging really seems to be an attention grabber. Lots of people ask me how I like my tundra...
