What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

I am not - I'm just not a very patient guy. Theres a local guy who does an incredible job and he's charging me $150 which includes the vinyl. Not bad and its a mod you dont see too often around here.

Heres my buddies audi that he did

 

Looks really good!!

 

Finally got around to getting the window tinted. 3M Color Stable 35 on the front doors and Crystalline 40 on the sunroof. Would have liked to go darker on the front doors but didn't want to run the risk of getting a ticket.

 

Your truck is so nice man. I love the white with that interior.

 

Your truck looks really good!! Nice job on the tint....

 

How was it dipping the chrome? Do you need to scuff it?

 

No. Do not scuff it. Just clean really really well. If you scuff it, you won't be able to remove it.

 

Do they make a super white Plastic Dip?

 

Do they make a super white Plastic Dip?

 

Not super white but white, yes.

 

How tough was it to install yourself? Are there any videos out there showing how?

 

HOW close is the white? Is it worth it or does it look weird?

 

its like 6 bucks a can at home depot, grab some and try it out. worst case scenario you peel it off and lost $6.00

 

How man? All the highways in bad news are more stop and go traffic than in a neighborhood!!!

 

Good to hear!

Current promos are listed below.

 

Dipped the front bumper ends finally to match the dipped chrome grille.



Did the superstrut bed rails. Not bad for $17.00.



Also tinted the tails.



Lots of wetsanding and polishing, but turned out great. 1 coat over the upper/lower/reverse + 2 more coats on the rest.



Think Ill might have the rear bumper ends vinyl wrapped instead of dipping them. Havent decided yet.

 

Looks great!

 

All that is plastidiped? Do the whites blend together nicely? Looks great! You should do a writeup on how you did the grill. Just white with glossifier?

 

Yes, the grill surround, hood bulge and bumper ends are all plasticdip. Just cleaned it really good, then did 2 coats grey, 6 coats of white and 2 coats of glossifier, waited 15-20 minutes between coats. The match is not 100% to the factory paint as its a bit flatter in color but it is really, really close. Most people cannot tell until you get really close, mostly because the texture looks a bit different, and of course the feel. I clean it with Simple Green. I pulled the grill and hood bulge then removed the center chrome slats which I think Ill do in black or grey eventually and I just tapped around the end caps really good and did them in place.

 

Nice job brutha!!! Looks CLEAN! BA!

 

Finally got my Tundra tailgate stickers on.
Now just waiting on my painted front bumper ends and oh shit handle from Roman.

 

roof repairs ($600), new washer and dryer ($1800), and getting 32 pine trees cut down ($3500)






.....oops, wrong thread, I thought this was the "What have you done this week that prevents you doing anything to your 3rd gen" thread

 

LOL. Leave the pine pine trees, get yourself a clothes line to string between them trees, save the $1800 and get more mods done.

 

that sucks but I chuckled on how you approached it.

 

This is a problem solver right here!

 

Great Job! How many cans of dip did you go through? A can per coat??

 

Haha
Very true, I just get lucky since I'm in the highway very early morning like at 4 a.m. or later in the night when everyone is already home

 

There...That's done : )

 

This was my first mod on my inferno, definitely cleans up the front end!

 

Updated my grille.
