    I've done some exterior aftermarket parts to my 03 Tacoma. I've put on new wheels, a mesh grill, and a bull bar. The symbol is just my personal preference, it's just a stick on. I wanted opinions to see if I should something to my truck or not, thanks!

    Well bud, it's your rig so your opinion is all you need.

    As far as some other add ons...

    -Tonneau cover for the bed.
    -maybe a toolbox instead.
    -projector headlights(expensive)
    -HID's(recommend projectors if doing this although I still have stock housings.)
    -steps or if you plan to go wheeling grab some sliders.
    -20" light bar on the bull bar?

    Just to start with. Good looking truck though:thumbsup:

    You could remove the chrome. Opinion as stated.

    Could also check out my build for any ideas. Great truck and welcome to the show.

    Yes haha. I'm more of a Optimus fan, but I feel like the decipticon puts off a more tough/rugged feel. I love looking at kids faces when the recognize the symbol and give me this look of awe... And terror

    If you couldn't tell, Sentinel Prime is my favorite, but I like Optimus, Megatron and all of them really! I've been wanting to do something like this to my truck. Currently have a devil horns Toyota emblem and my Powerstroke has an autobot badge on the corners of the rear window pillars.

    lift, tires, wheels, some interior stuff
    let's not forget about the interior:
    - led dome lights
    - led door lights
    - led instrument lights

    you'll be surprised how much better it is, and it wont break the bank, + you can do it all yourself on the cheap.

    The inside I've already done the stereo, all 4 speakers, sub, dash lights, tinted windows, and projector underside door lights.

    I would black out the grill to match your wheels. Right now your wheels don't really go with much on the truck. The front end is too bright compared to the rest of the truck.

    I agree, make the grill black to match the wheels and it will be looking prime time, also, maybe install a lift?

    Agreed. Black out that chrome to match fenders flares and other trim. I'd even plastidip the emblems. Lift it if you off road or really load up for roadies or camping trips and want it to handle the weight better.

    Dents and scratches, and other stuff.
    I think that you should find something wonderful to do in it with someone that you love...or get a bunch of steel on the front of it...or both.

    Sweet ride, btw.
