    Not usually my style either I just wanted a little extra something. Thats why I made it suttle. Even more suttle is the carbon fiber sticker in the shape of washington state that u cant see unless ur standing next to the truck.

    You're welcome. The more I kept looking at it, the more I kept saying...it looks like it was made to be there!

    The first one looked cool, but a little large for the location. If it was lower it would have worked. I love the pink and blue logo. Totally reminds me of playing GTA vice city. You really should drive up to the hilux cruise and old school show on sunday. That would look rad with the group. And if your buddy makes stickers, you should see about having him make me a few. I have some ideas I want stickers of lol.

    Where is said cruise? I havent considered cruising with similars mainly cause my paint is dull and worn off most spots. Tailgate especially but my whole beds pretty hammared on. Maybe at 930 at night id meet up haha

    Mine needs the full meal deal. Ive got a detail guy whos excellent and as a friend quoted me 100 inside and out. Said hed give me 50 back if my paint doesnt look new. And would do it for free if it doesnt last 3 years. Just gotta come up with a hundred bones!

    Edit. Im not that lazy. Its just buying the buffer and all the stuff hes gonna use is gonna cost me probably 100 dollars. Id rather accumulate that stuff to maintain what he's done over the next months/years

    Sounds like a great deal to me. If you wanna make a low buck first step, get a bottle of mcguiers scratch X at the parts store or walmart. Wipe it on, rub it in a bit, then wipe it off. Gets rid of oxidation and small scratches. Its not a gritty compound, more of a final glaze step. Not a wax either, it suggest that afterwords. And for the spots where your paint is scuffed and chipped away, get some nail polish as close to the color as you can and touch it up. It won't fade and its usually really cheap. My theory on that has always been, "whats worse; brown all over or a slightly off shade of body color?"

    Good luck with it, hopefully you bring it up on sunday

    The cruise is in bothell sunday. 228th and bothell everett highway albertsons grocery store. then a few blocks south to the old school reunion show. its a pre87 style euro and jap show. theres an event posting call the spring hilux meet.

    I have some scratch x left, might be able to prove it works on your truck if you come up sunday lol
