    It was the small creases near the edges that I struggled with, but I went ahead and ordered sheets on Amazon and will do the exacto method, if nothing else I can just it to have some wrap around that won't show anyway to ensure coverage of the light

    Kings, 275/70/17, a few custom items, lots of Meso mods.
    Had to retire the Meso OG's. Installed newer version from @MESO. Will work on building a custom, 1-of, set this winter. With the red lense they look very similar when off.

    Right, I can't quite tell if he has a mini Tacoma to go with the normal sized one, or a massive Tacoma where he can park the real Tacoma on the tailgate.

    (Except that the link to the mini-build gives it away. It's a fun thread to see).

    Photoshop insert of the real Tacoma?

    Alternate planes of reality intersecting with ours?

    Mass hypnosis?

    Those red/green pills I took this morning?

    Has anyone done their own ECT relocation to the shifter without a pre-purchased kit or harness? I’ve given up on the two companies I see mentioned here often as they are rarely rarely in stock, if they are, I’ve never seen them since I purchased mine 3 years ago. I think one is a called meso and taco mods. I have some molex stuff, but not the connectors.

    Luna had a spa day on Saturday.
    Cleaned her pores (clay bar) and then SPF'd her skin with Zaino.
    Since I still haven't had the repair done from the neighbor's hit at 1937 miles, I only did cab-back to tail.
    Note to self: don't go do chest/tri before setting out to clay the truck!

    Nice work! :thumbsup: How does the backlighting look at night? In the dedicated Meso Customs Volume Button Relocation thread a few folks mentioned that it's a bit uneven, particularly the volume up button. Was planning on doing the upgrade, but just curious how the lighting looks. Not a big deal, but wondering if it'd be a good idea to wait until the "next gen" comes out. TIA!

    That was one of the first things I checked actually (in a dark garage). On my kit at least the color is about a 95% match to the factory lights on the other side of the steering wheel. I also did not notice any weird or uneven lighting. At least for now this is close enough for me. I might swap the board out for the factory at some point and reprogram the Maestro if I need to pull the headunit for a reason, but so far so good with this upgrade. It was too easy to put it back together with their board for testing.

    Nice! I don't do a lot of night driving, so I might go ahead and order then. Thanks! :cheers:

    Have you tried the lamin-x covers for the fog lights? That is the route I took and looks great and super one time install. Here's a link: https://lamin-x.com/toyota-tacoma-trd-2016-fog-light-covers.html
