Advice on my new 94' Toyota pickup
Hey I am a new owner of a 94' Toyota pickup that has been very well maintained. I have always been into customizing my cars and trucks to make them my own and am wanting some advice on what I can/should do to the truck to make it my own.
Should I?
-remove "Toyota" and "TRD" decals?
-remove mud flaps?
-remove chrome aftermarket bumper? (I don't really like the way it looks)
-a small lift, aftermarket wheels and bigger tires and possibly a regear will come later.
I will post some pics of how the truck sits now... Let me know what y'all think!

First off, beautiful truck. We're envious here in the rust belt. To answer your question, it's purely opinion and ultimately your choice... Except for maybe the mudflaps. Check with local regulations as they may be legally required.
PS Your truck would be in a museum where I'm from.

It's obviously your choice, but I would think, as nice as that truck looks, the resale value would take a definite hit if you removed the Toyota and TRD decals. A truck that age and that sharp is starting to take on "classic" status. Those decals are marks of distinction and pride.
I agree the bumper doesn't do much for it.
Also agree that you need to check on legality of running w/o mud flaps. I know they are required in Colorado (although I doubt enforcement amounts to much, unless you hit the cop in the wind-shield with a flying rock.)
Small lift + new tires and wheels would look good.

Just plasti-dip the bumpers, black them out.
You can peel it off if you get tired of it.
And throw some window tint at it.
What part of Carolina are you?
I blacked out the bumpers, windshield trim and the wheel well chrome on my truck left the grill and one piece of chrome trim on the bottom of the cab.
Made a big change in looks.

I'm in Statesville, NC. I have used Plastidip before on my old silverado's chrome grill. I didn't like how it was hard to clean lol. I am planning on tinting 5% on the back windows and 20% on driver and passenger doors. Can I see a pic of your truck?
