Vent Visors for 2004 Tacoma XtraCab? And a few other questions!

Well, I took my 2001 Dodge Dakota out muddin' and sank it pretty deep
in a pit that I thought was a little more shallow. Water found it's
way into the engine and fried it. Needed a new engine and a serious
cleaning. So I figured it was time to step up into a Tacoma.

Turned out to be the best thing to ever happen to me. I picked up a
2004 V6 Silver Tacoma XTRACab with the Chrome and TRD Packages. This
is an awesome truck. I love the stiff suspension (my Dakota had me
bouncing around in the cab). I'm looking for some extras to put on the
truck to spice it up a bit more. My last truck had the bugflector,
vent visors above the doors and a window vent visor for the rear (side)
windows.

I was wondering what some thoughts are on these. Does a Tac look good
with all that stuff on it. I am especially interested in the rear
window vents because they make it much darker in the cab (which I
like).

Finally, any other accessories? (beside Nerf Bars, which I'm getting
soon enough...$$$) I do have the chrome cap on my exhaust pipe. What
about a stainless steel Toyota plate for the front?

Thanks,

Eric

Sounds like you need a sonar to tell how deep puddles are before you drive
through em eh, or at least a decent winch.

Thanks for stating the obvious but that really doesn't help me know. I
just need to know if anyone has side vents on their taco!

Here's a link to a picture showing a double cab with them on. I'm sure
with a little more searching on Google images you can find some examples
of what you're looking for.
