    Added the pro grill (found one on eBay for right at $100.00 over dealership, but got it in a week), Spyder headlights, and blacked out the badges with overlays. Tinted the front windows and eyebrow with ceramic tint. I hate the eybrow. Hard to see in these pics, but way too dark and low. Leaves a line right across my eyeline. I have new taillights on the way, will update when I get them. After that, I want to black out the bumpers. Still trying to decide the best and most cost effective option for that.

    Well done. I powdercoated my bumper ends black matte - which matches the plastic middle bumper piece. It was $35 dollars a side = $70 total. Cheapest option I found by far.

    Honestly, I don't know. I bought it that way, and none of the paperwork shows it. This is my first 4x4, so I'm pretty ignorant as far as that stuff goes. I didn't realize I didn't get the dealer tag until a few weeks after I bought it.

    take a pic of the front suspension (looking in to the wheel well) we can tell you if you have a modded suspension or not.

    it does look like it's leveled

    That's pretty cheap. The only quote I got so far was for vinyl wrapping front caps and rear bumper: $450.00

    Looks great! What are your specs on your wheels and tires?

    Lucky for you there are a lot of options regarding your bumpers since your Tundra is black. Vinyl wrap would be the way I would go ...

    That's ridiculous. I'd have to think powdercoating will be more durable than vinyl wrap too, especially on the front.

    Truck looks awesome! I purchased color matched front bumper caps from Roman and installed myself. It was a little bit of a chore but easily doable in an afternoon.

    Love the truck. $450 is a rip off. You can vinyl yourself, heat gun and vinyl for probably $125 or so. Like stated above that vinyl will split with rock chips and road debris within a few months letting the chrome show thru. Powder coat is probably best option but if you don't want to remove caps go plastidip. Here's a pic of mine. Did the grill and caps. Matches center bumper. 7 coats and easy to touch up if needed later. Also you can always remove it if you want to do something different.20170730_115956-1.jpg

    Yes, I'd either powdercoat or plastidip, versus vinyl. Vinyl will certainly chip, and I am not sure there is any nice way to touch that up like you can with plasti-dip.

    Also interior trim wrap is an inexpensive upgrade. Mine was fugly wood trim. Gotz ta go. Toyota having a case of the Mondays putting that combo together.20170706_091055.jpg 20170706_114529-1.jpg

    That looks sharp. Was that wood grain trim? The last car I saw with that had ash trays in the door handles.

    Just make sure they are all the same color - otherwise that would look bad.
