    Please explain how that lowers the value of the truck? He's not selling it and plus it comes off without any damage or modification to the vehicle, once removed.

    ...just the hood, for glare. I thought that it worked, and looked great. It peels off, but not super easy. I had to work to get all of it off the hood, that was only a couple weeks after going to Moab, in August. It was probably on for 1.5 months. I would do it again, or maybe the vinyl. It was a little streaky.

    Wow, I really like the way your Tacoma turned out. Any tips??? I'm to the point where my hood is in need of fresh paint and clear coat. I have a buddie that plastic coated his emblems on his truck and it looks good after 1 year with harsh condition. After hearing about this and seeing your truck, I think this is better way than paying 6K to have it totally repainted. Nice Job!

    Looks really good. Hopefully it lasts for a good time but even if it doesn't at least it wouldn't be hard nor expensive to touch up.....
