    So I played a little with photoshop to see how the actual mod will look like after coloring the tire letters. I'm on the fence. I like it cause it gives a sporty look but then I'm losing the mean look that I like too.

    What you guys think yay or nay???

    I actually like it ... something different and matches up with your Tundra nicely. Still looks mean with the red lettering ... and besides, if you end up not liking it couldn't you just change it back to black.

    Especially like that 3/4 rear picture and the red tailgate insert :thumbsup:.

    +1 on the color match tire letters. Makes the tires pop. If you can match the color is say go for it. Looks good to me.

    I don't hate it...I say go for it and do your own thing. Just my opinion but I think it would look even better without the red stickers on the truck. Cool either way though.

    Ya, these are TCT wraps. I don't like it, material is shitty and the customer service is shittier for the price the product is shittiest. Wanted to go cheap, never works for me.

    It wasn't u it's the product actually.
    I did one and I thought I messed up. Took it to my tint buddy and all he had was swear words for garbage product.

    I think it looks sporty on the tires. Don't like it in combination with the red on the wheels too.

    I'm a nay. I like the red accents you currently have but the tires are a little much for me. Truck looks awesome like it is.

    Nay on the red letters on the tires... but I've never been a fan of the raised white lettering either... rest of the red highlights look good! Nice rig!

    I vote no. If you're going to keep the red stickers, keep the red lettering on the tires that balance that "mean" effect over the whole truck. Don't mess with those specially decorated tires unless/until you're ready to go all the way: black w/o any other color.

    Damnit. I read this all wrong. I'm with the "keep it as you have it: the red lettering on the tires + the red decals". I'm NOT for adding red to your wheels.
