    So I've been looking for a second Tundra (long story buy I have 3 sons and will be handing them down over time)

    Came across the Holy Grail Unicorn configured truck.
    2024 Limited with TRD package in Lunar Rock, 6K miles
    3" Factory lift
    Tundra Pro grill, fenders, fog light bezel
    Limited Package with LED lighting, sun roof, etc
    Basically every option box ticked when they ordered it.

    But for the love of God the dealer did some touch up paint near the gas door. Granted the faux carbon decal will be the first thing to go, but what do I do about this. I would be buying from a distance then fly and drive.

    Thoughts??

    Have them fix it correctly as part of the deal. That looks terrible, along with the carbon fiber sticker. Wtf

    Its used, right? I didn't think you could get a Limited with the TRD Pro grill, fenders, fog light bezel.... Just saying, be aware of what you are buying. Might be picking up someone's shitty DIY wiring.. And maybe the previous owner did the sticker and crappy paint and not the dealer..

    full disclosure, I bought mine used and have nothing against buy a used vehicle.

    Those almost look like air bubbles to me. Seems too smooth around the edges to be paint. It’s hard to tell for sure though.

    Yeah it’s used. I believe it was a fully loaded Limited with TRD package and factory lift. Then previous owner swapped the grill, fender flares, fog bezel. It’s at a Porsche Dealer and was a trade in according to them. They did the touch up paint at the dealer.

    I may fly down this weekend to check it out. Pics look clean but when I zoomed in I saw the paint touch up and the dealer fessed up they did the touch up.

    I think there may be something that the decal is covering up.
    I see no other reason to put it on..

    I think you might be right. Although I’ve seen that decal on a few websites. Also the door rain guards and the bug deflector need to go.

    I’ve been having the sales gal take pictures and send them.
    I guess worst case I get the gas door and that section of the bed repainted.

    Just wish it was closer

    Looks like a wrap. That gas door most certainly is, looks awful. Open the doors and check the color there.
