    Hey hey,

    First post so be kind. My brother has always spoke highly of this site and all of the insight y'all offer.

    I'm looking to replace the following:
    1. Roof weather strips as one is warped and keeps coming off.

    2. Tail light covers for something more custom.

    3. All black grill cover because it's sexy!

    2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4

    Seeking Vendors that would be good for either one (outside the dealership).

    Next year I'll be on the hunt for some darker rims.

    You guys rock!

    Thanks!!!

    =) tara sue

    Welcome to TW's Forum. Beware of the occasional sarcasm here - don't take it too seriously.

    Roof trim your looking at going to the dealer for those.

    Tail lights there are several aftermarket options, just google "3rd gen tacoma tail lights"

    For the grill, there are lots of all black ones out there. But since you have a 2018, you need to make sure it works with the sensor behind the toyota emblem.

    Be careful - it can become a bad and expensive habit ...

    For the roof top weather strip that keeps coming off you could try some black RTV silicone to stick it in place. I had a problem with one part of my roof top weather strip coming loose after the required modifications needed to the weather strips to install a Baja Rack roof rack. The silicone one did the trick and the weather strip has stayed in place for a couple of years.

    Yes, yes it can be. I priced the weather strip at the dealership for $112 and now will research how easy it is to install...they want to charge $77 dollars :p

    post over in the San Diego BS thread and see if anyone has installed a roof rack recently. Maybe someone will donate them free of charge ;)

    If you can put a square peg in a square hole, the roof trim will take you 30 seconds each side.

    The front edge has a clip, the back edge has double sided tape. Clip the front first, then the lay it down, then peal the tape off and slide it under the rear window gasket and push down.
