I gave it a half decent clean the other day at the car wash, I did find a few dead bees in my other TRD intake when it took it apart ! haha

Moar carbon fiber wrapping!

So first off this is probably the hardest piece ive done and i just might re-do it because after 4 hours with messing with it it didnt turn the way i expected it. It doesnt look the best at all but what a pain with the edges and what not!!!

Then finding out there was an eaiser way to do this simply by doing it in 2 pieces rather than just one big sheet lol

Anyways heres some pics

i love the look but man thats gotta be a pain in the ass to take apart and re-do

did you do the gauge dash in 1 piece? maybe try doing a couple pieces :dontknow: probably easier to get a nice joint than getting 1 solid piece on nicely

Here's the pics!

 

[TommyXrunner]

Yeah man it came out really good this time! I absolutely love it!

It's actually not that bad to wrap if you take it by pieces, just try to match the lines in the pattern and you won't notice them at all!

It sure has been a while since I've got anything done on my Tacoma, really there's nothing new on the truck itself but it has been blowing my mind on fuel economy lately.

Suppose ever since I've gotten my R33 GTR I've been more careful on that skinny pedal. Fuel mileage lately has been a crazy 22 MPG, despite all the mods done to the engine. First time that this truck has been getting this kind of mileage! haha

The usual mileage I get on this truck is roughly 16-17 MPG
