1. Interior LED Kit + License Plate
LEDs can make a noticeable impact throughout any application.
This LED Lighting Kit replaces all of the stock yellow halogen bulbs with high-output LEDs. I can tell you that these really improve the look and feel of our Tacomas by giving them an updated and modern look. The kit comes with every replacement bulb needed and a plastic pry tool, making for an even smoother install.

3. Tri-Color Grille Badge
As we have mentioned before, one of the many benefits of owning a Tacoma is making it your own.
A Tri-Color Grille Badge installed on the front grille does just that by being able to work with any mesh or open slot grill type and by having multiple color options to choose from. These grill badges have the perfect amount of pop to bring your color scheme together.

5. Center Console Organizer
The Tacoma is a great truck, but it doesn’t come with many organization options throughout the front cab, especially in the center console.
Solve that issue with the Center Console Organizer. Rubber-lined, functional, and cost-effective, this is a go-to throughout the Tacoma community.
