That is friggin awesome dude. I love it. Very unique.
Thanks For Your Own Good --- And coming from a Grabber Blue guy -- Very different look, Much appreciated!!

I'm getting stopped everyday - people even waving me down and yelling -- "Love that Color!!" . I get many people asking "Is that a stock color? It looks amazing!" I think it brings out the shape of the car.

I'm really happy with this crazy choice -- and also see other car makes coming out with this type of color -- low saturation, mid value colors, browns and soft grey and blues as well.

Thanks again!

Yeah I noticed a lot of mild brown/gray/tan cars these days. Toyota has some killer colors on the Tacoma.

I went with the Crimson because I never see one on the road and wanted my car to be a bit different, it's also why didn't want black wheels. When I started reading the tread I was thinking why?? Then I kept reading and it grew on me, much like the new front end of the '18 grew on me.

This image sells it for me, very well done on your 1 of 1!

That front grill is so reminiscent of the Maserati grill...and that a good thing. The color is very unique but works. The total of all the subtle mods works and shows great.

props!

Do you have any before pics? Not my cup of tea but I certainly love the risk taking and honestly, as many said before, the quality sells it to me! Congrats!

Before and after.

I know some of you will love the original rims -- I liked them but was going for a different design.

What you could do is glue on some magnets on the back of the badges (some of those super powerful ones) along with some kind of scratch preventive barrier (polyurethane, perhaps) and experiment with placement and "living with it" to see how it grows on you.

Major props on your build. Just not feeling the painted trunk filler panel in between the taillights. The taillights don't quite "flow" now.

That's really remarkable and unique. Congratulations.

May I ask how long the repaint required? Was the engine out and everything?

Thanks.

Kudos to you for going with a custom color and standing out from the crowd (without being obnoxious).

Throw some sidescoops and a wing on there.

It took about 5 weeks. The Engine was not pulled. But it looks great under the hood. I'll add a pick soon.

Where did you get the grill from - or made? Really striking.
