I saw 2 of these front ends today on my way to work. See how the front end has a kind of "wedge" cut into it ? I think it looks nice. I know that the air-dam is removed but look at the front facia from the side of the front until the fog light. That area. Until today I have never seen a front end like this. Does Toyota make these like this or was this done by someone aftermarket ? I was only able to get a quick glimpse and picture of it. And then 5 minutes later I saw another just like it.

I've seen this on more of the newer 2-tone type paint schemes. Seems to be a styling change Toyota made.

They call that cut a viper cut. I've seen it on some 4runners as well

Yeah , I just found out it's something people do and not done from the factory. The funny thing is that I did this to my 2003 Tacoma back in 2004. I just thought it up one day because when I would go through the woods to deer hunt , the front bumper valence would catch on things. So I cut it and it was functional and good looking. Now 18 years later people are doing it. LOL . Here is my 2003 Tacoma with the cuts I made. It's a bit dark but you can see it.
