    Hey guys, new to the forum. Used to frequent another forum for Tundras back when mine was new.
    I have a 2002 SR5 2WD that came with a dealer applied two-tone finish. (I wanted a solid Red or Silver truck but they had none on the lot.) I immediately intended to convert to an Ivan Stewart TRD as soon as I could. A few years later they were selling Ivan Stewart body kits for cheap so I picked one up. Been running a two-tone IS since about 2004 or so.
    The paint has deteriorated along with some of the rubber/plastic trim. I finally put it in the shop this week to begin paint/body work to remove dings and such.
    I'm in the process of gathering parts prices from different dealerships, going with OEM parts as the original ones held up great and every time I try aftermarket parts they fall apart about a year later.
    I'm going back with the original Sunfire Red Pearl paint as I don't want to do a a full color swap with door jambs, engine bay etc.
    I'm intending to install a 3"/1" OME lift with UCA's, new wheels and tires.
    Also getting the front bench re-covered in leather.
    I've found most of the parts I need to replace, except I can't find Mirror Covers. Any help would be appreciated.

    Here are current state pics at the beginning of the resto.
    I've gotten lots of great info from this forum so thanks to all you contributors and other mod/build posts. Hope to keep up with progress and post pics as it comes along.
    Howdy!
