    Try this. Google image search for 2012 Tacoma, and find some images of actual Tacomas at a similar viewing aspect and compare.

    ETA: I did this, just want to see if you come to the same conclusion.

    I agree uurx. The roof line appears too rounded along with the front of the hood.

    Just curious and this may be a stupid question, but... Why?

    Are you going to make a 1:16 scale model or something?

    Sometimes you can find vector graphics of certain models of cars but they aren't three dimensional so pretty much just art.

    So I can make my own accessories for the exterior. Somebody somewhere has to have taken a 3D scan of a DCSB Tacoma. A point cloud would be sufficient for my purposes. I don't need a rendered model.

    Because cad is superior to the back of a napkin lol. I use solid works every day and if I didn't have to measure or draw my truck, it would save a decent amount of time.
