    Today i got bored and decided to mess around a little...

    first i painted the lenses of my cheap fog lights behind my grille craft tinted with some black spray paint and then painted the aftermarket covers white

    Then i figured eh what the hell lets paint the stock lower grille behind my grille craft white

    oh also my fogs got like melted and messed up from the lamin x so temporarily i tinted them to hid the uglyness

    A bunch a cool stickers, a bada ass MetalMiller Tx Longhorns grill emblem painted Hemi Orange, JBA long tube headers with o2 sims, Diff breather mod, Red LED interior lights, Fancy head unit that plays ipod n movies, Also DIY install factory stuff like, factory cruise control, factory intermittent wipers, OME nitro struts with 886x springs and toy tec top plate, JBA high caster UCA's for better alignmnet and dey beefier too, Old Man Emu Dakar leaf springs in da rear with the gear, U bolt flipper, Ivan Stewart TRD rims with 33" K Bro 2's, some bad ass weather tech floor liners so I don't muck up my interior, an ATO shackle flipper for mo travel in da rear wit the gear, also super shiny Fox 2.0 shocks back there too, all sorts of steal armor for bouncing off of the rocks like demello sliders, AP front skid, trans skid, n transfer skid, demello gas tank skid, and a tough as nails ARB bumper with warn 8k winch, I'm sure there's more
    Not a fan of the eye brows, think they're girly myself. Everything else looks great. Like the mesh and the fogs behind em', and noticed your skid plate was painted. That gives it a nice tone. Pretty sweet. Wonder what the badges would look like painted white?

    The truck looks good. I wouldn't do everything the same way but that's why it's unique, right?

    Ehh looks ok I think blacked out would be cooler much cleaner looking that's my style. Your truck looks kick ass either way though! Very nice sorta what I'm working towards with mine. I read you don't like the big eyelids you could just trim em' a bit I did that on my wrx JUN eyelids and they turned out good.

    heat gun? Something to soften the tape. You could drip some 3m Adhesive Remover in there to soften it up.

    I think it looks great...but I would also lose the eyelids. The plates could be less, but not a big deal, and it looks like they are needed.
