    Black exhaust
    Long time lurker, first time posting. I have been reading posts here for a few months, and I finally took delivery of my 2018 Tundra CM last month.

    I'm almost to 1000 miles and I'm loving the truck so far. It's the first Toyota that I have owned (my wife has a 2017 Highlander which has been a fantastic car so far). I optioned the Tundra and ordered it but my company pays for the lease, so I probably won't be doing much modification until I decide to buy it in three years. So far I have only painted the exhaust black using the ceramic header paint, per a post I found here.

    I'm also new to DFW as of May 2018. I spent the rest working in automotive back in Michigan. I worked as a dealer technician, and teacher before transitioning to work for OEMs and a supplier, so I know my way around a car if you (y'all ?) have questions on that front.

    Looks great. Did you scuff up the chrome exhaust tip or just paint over it?

    Welcome! That’s an awesome looking truck in the best color. For a minute, I thought you had a mod that nobody had...it turns out to be a roll of paper towel on the driver side mirror.

    Scuffed with a few grades of wet/dry sandpaper and cleaned up before primer and paint. I painted the pipes visible behind the axle and in the wheel well black also, but I didn't paint it all the way to the catalyst.

    Lol yeah I had to do the detailing on it myself the day after I got it, the place I got it doesn't do that I guess.

    Nice! Love the color and what you have done with the exhaust. Does the TRD exhaust have a lower note, or is that just an exhaust tip?

    Does it fit in your garage? I park mine in a 10X20' enclosure and I have to fold the mirrors in and spit on it to make it fit.

    Welcome. You get the TRD tip put on or did it come that way? Need to paint my exhaust. Wish Toyota did something like that from the plant so that it didn't start rusting within 20 minutes of being made.

    It's the TRD dual exhaust so it comes with the chrome tips. I sanded them before I primed and painted. I have seen more than a few complaints about the TRD exhaust showing rust spots in a very short time.
