    What does everyone think i know quality not the best but i actually think it looks decent

    its just taped up there for a reference... reason im wanting to do it is to cover up some paint that is coming off and of course to advertise

    and yes i have parts from all those companys

    Not my money-you do you. IMO-it looks lame as fuck for a daily driver. Might as well put an anime dude sticker on it.

    If you are sponsored by someone, by all means-put their stickers on there.

    Personally I think its distasteful, ESPECIALLY on a spruce mica. That is the best color on any gen taco imo and putting that thing on there really takes away from its beauty. Only way I'd do it was if I was getting free parts or money from those companies.

    Just came by to say you have the best color option for the 2nd gen, I couldn't bare covering it up with decals unless that paint damage is maybe really that bad. But it is your vehicle, if you like it, do it!

    I prefer a clean looking body. I removed all badging for the same reason. That being said, you do what you like and own it! Plus, you are also doing it for anesthetics.

    I put some carbon fiber, vinyl wrap on mine to help reduce rock chips because I drive on a lot of gravel during deer season.554F22AB-EB27-44B7-BA2D-3441BB3DF28E.jpg

    Unless they are paying you, no. But do what makes YOU happy. I survived that phase (you will too.) Right idea. Why not just wrap that lower section in TRD colors or something...
