    Looks great! The devil is in the details. Can't tell from this pic, but is your exhaust also black? I picked up an exhaust tip from autozone and painted it with BBQ paint. Turned out great.

    The chrome screws are for the faux beadlock rings on the trd wheels. I just finished wrapping the center caps in black vinyl, picture coming shortly. I'm debating a good way to paint them, maybe caliper paint. The TRD exhaust tip is still chrome, also deciding how to paint that as well, maybe high heat engine paint but that might not produce a good finish. I like the look of a completely de-badged truck.

    I used flat black BBQ paint on mine and it worked great. I sanded it with some fine paper, cleaned it up, and did plenty of coats. Came out great IMO.

    OR you could plastidip it. Another member on here tried it, and I thought it would melt off for sure. After a week he reported back and said it looked good as new. I'd give that a shot if you're unsure.

    Very Nice. In the process of de-chroming my 2016 Limited.

    You can see in the first pic, the sides of the tail lights have black in them. I'm guessing Depo lights.
