    Hey everyone,

    I'm debating on adding vinyl graphics to my truck and wanted to get some opinions. After playing around with GIMP image editing software I came up with this design. It's similar to the Ivan Stewart design but with different colors. Should I go with this design or change it up? Feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

    Putting vinyl graphics on your truck is childish.






    I approve!!!

    To me, it looks like a loaner vehicle from the dealer.

    Maybe work up a render with "black" flares (could plastidip or wrap) to help balance the look out a bit and remove the door and fender logo. I don't love the BFG or Toyota decals but it does give it a racier/prerunner look. you could also help balance the look out if you do something on the hood as well. Above all....you must like it ;)

    Might be interesting to swap the gray and red stripes but keep the width the same then do the TRD in white to make it pop more...

    It's your truck, so do what you like.

    IMHO, I'd lose the Goodrich and Toyota 'commercials' ...

    Looks like the "Toyota Factory" Vehicles that you would see at a corporate event. It's cool if that's the look you're going for. I agree with -ditch the BFG logo (Unless they are willing to give you rubber for free!) and it's obvious it's a Toyota... If you want to represent a mfg. I'd reach out to some smaller aftermarket vendors and rep them (ie AVID etc) These guys support the Taco community and would appreciate the free advertising. Just a thought.

    It looks rad. Actually.

    the bfg brings it back to the Ivan days. I don’t cry about whether or not I’m paid to put a sticker on a thing, it’s a non issue.

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. I was really on the fence about the BFGoodrich and Toyota logos. I'm going to take them off and look into adding something else on the front...maybe on the hood.

    Don’t sweat the “advertisement Dur hurr” stuff. Someone said it once, and now people just repeat it. That only matters if you’re one of the first ten starting positions in a race. Otherwise, it don’t mean shit.


    Bob Fox doesn’t pay me to “advertise” his shocks, but I have fox stickers on things because I like what fox did/does for the OR race community. It’s legendary. Think for yourself bro. Do what makes you smile.
