I understand why there is a "simplicity of design" perspective from Japan’s early Toy trucks...

However, those factory graphics are boring, mundane, distracting, awkward, and do practically nothing to visually enhance the lines of the body.  Unless I needed to keep the “factory” look, there are so many more graphic design options that would be WAY more visually appealing.

I don't see your point. people dressed like complete freaks in the 70s but it was the style. The SR5 stripes are retro and cool

on topic : check out my swish SR5 graphics! they're on the doors too but you can barely see it under the primer.
