    Alright fellers, it's done. :bananadance:

    Swapped the HomerTaco special from the white surround it came with (purchased from @Ulysiss), to my color matched black one.

    [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Removed the Pro insert, removed the HomerTaco insert, and did the swap. Pretty straight forward. Unclipping the inserts is a bitch, because of those tabs (those of you that have a 12-15 and/or have done it know what I'm talking about). The only extra thing I had to do was break off a few tabs from my surround, due to how HomerTaco creates his inserts, but NO BIGGIE. The insert still holds very well in place with all the remaining hard tabs and screws.

    Pic for reference, to see what tabs were broken off, on the white surround it came with, marked with pink sticky tabs.

    [​IMG]

    Since it's already almost bed time, will take a pic of the truck with it on tomorrow, and will post it up so you can all see what it looks like, and give me your input/feedback on whether or not you think I should paint the TRD letters black, to "murder it out".

    Ditch the ugly chin thing, and the bug deflector,
    the protection offered by either, isn't worth your truck looking like that!
    Sorry, you asked!:anonymous:

    Can't wait to get my grille built and installed so I can be in the cool kids club! Until then, here's my last Taco's front end

    Nowhere near as cool as most on here but Ive added factory fogs, plasti dipped grille surround, and added TRD skid. Now i need to adjust the altitude! Coming along slowly.

    I've seen people lose paint because of the bug deflectors, also, I hate the way they look!
    Totally detract from the clean Tacoma lines...
