    I think 2 must have mods include the extra d-rings and the pop & lock. Both are excellent

    Check the wheel and tire sub forum there should be a sticky for painting the wheels. And theres a sticky for debadging as well. And all you do is, once they are painted, get some 3M automotive double sided tape and stick 'em back on.

    Yup. I've got an 07'. I just did it the other day. Unfortunately the only Toyota part used was the tailgate handle. Anyone wish to see pics?
