     Howdy ya, thanx for checking out my latest project. It's already been one year today and yet it looks as if it just rolled outta the assembly line (with a few modifications, of course). This is my 08' Tacoma TRD Sports Edition DoubleCab. Who needs the Texas Edition Tacoma when you've got the TRD Sports Edition with 20" chrome rims (that you CUSTOMIZE yourself) along with chrome side tube steps? Makes little to no sense to me...but I guess, whatever floats your boat. 

 

     I've definitely made a few improvements here and there - hopefully it looks abit more sportier & sleeker...

*New* Phantom Signal Lights (11/7/09)

They're painted chrome but the signals still orange...gives it that complete chrome look to the headlights.

The pix below shows what the headlights look like when they're all "ON". The one at the bottom illustrates the usage of the 12,000K EFx HIDs (which gives off a blue tint) and is EXTREMELY bright.

It's Finally HERE!  (The before and after Engine Transformation.) 

I had considered changing the air filter to that of the TRD Cold Air Intake for a complete engine upgrade. But is it really worth it? The kit itself cost about $680 and that only adds an additional 10 HP.

I reckon if I didn't have the SC - I'd be singing a different tune. But since I do, I do believe the SC upgrade by far is definitely worth every penny!

Finally changed the Speedometer from stock (black) to a Stainless Steel look; now it definitely looks sleeker inside and out.
