    Thanks guys for all of the inputs. As much as I want to do it, I want to keep the OEM look. I get asked by Ford and Dodge owners about TRD package and what it stands for. Most of 'em think Mine is OEM sport package from Toyota. My truck was just an SR5 and I added my version of TRD and then some.

    Since the wheels and caps are Red already, adding red stickers on the tires might get the wheel looking too crowded. I just wanted to use red accents throughout the truck inside and outside thats what I did and still doing It.

    Let me get to my next mod so my Tundy can start talking. Oh wait, let me paint 'em red first.

    I think you have plenty going on. Tires may be going overboard.

    Truck looks great BTW!

    I would only do the "T" on the wheels.

    The red lettering on the tires is dope.

    I wouldn't do anything on the front except the hook.

    Great ideas!

    Everything is done already as far as the red goes.
    Tire lettering was something i was thinking of doing and that's where this Thread started.

    I did mix of everything in IS/IT. Started with IT after college then worked as software engineer (Unix,Linux,Oracle) then started managing projects. Left Corporate and started my own hardware sales for IT and now kinda back to software integration since everything is going on cloud. Less hardware but more software nowadays. I figure its time to move to west coast to enter the real tech hub.

    I'm in NorCal and it's hot as piss here in the summer. High 90s/low 100s. Doesn't bother me at all... very low humidity. Let me know if you ever make it out here.

    My body and my mind slows down when it's hot. Lived in Texas for 3 years when I was in college. Ran away after senior year finally crashed in Chicago.
    Isn't San Francisco falls under NorCA? Heard the weather is in high 60s-70s there.

    And expensive as hell....
    May be I should get a travel trailer and live in it with my Tundra. What used to be look down up on is cool with millennial s nowadays.

    Joking aside, I really have to focus and make this move. I have pretty much seen Midwest, east coast and south. Now is the time to move to west coast. Last I went to CA is when I bought my RangeRover from SanFrancisco and drove all the way to Chicago. Will ping you when I go out that way.

    Hey, I just got the same BFs. So you like the white letters? What color is your Tundra? Mines is green and I'm trying to figure out what to do.
