    Want to install some yellow splitter guards on my 2024 but they won’t fit, can I just paint the bottom of the dams to look like they are on there? Maybe use self tappers to hold them on?

    What trim truck do you have? I vote spray paint the chin strap if you have one?

    stop playing and do the viper cut so you can’t even mount splitter guards!!

    Preordered a 2024 from a guy that said he works for Toyota, while waiting at the bus stop, don’t know what trim he’ll order, paid him $9,999 because he said $10k would mess up his taxes

    I've considered putting a black decal on where the Viper Cut goes. See if I like it kind of thing. Then decide if I leave the decal on, cut around it like a template, or peel it off back to stock.

    That'll be at least 2hp per a painted on guard. It's more than 10hp per a real guard. You could always heat the plastic to help mold them to the curvature of the air dam and put a few self tappers in to make sure it don't go no where!

    I took carbon splitters off my Vette. I sure wouldn't put splitters on my Taco let alone guards.

    That’s a solid idea! Depending on how you use your truck the viper cut made sense for me for clearance and access to changing the radiator bushings and the fog lights
