    Has anyone tinted their 3rd brake light or their fog lights? Trying to decide between the nightshade spray or the vinyl tint for them. I don't feel like paying 50$ for a 3rd brake light

    Why would you tint your fog lights?

    Finally de-badged and ditched the sway bar. Small difference in ride, but a huge improvement IMO.

    After installing the 887s with 5100s, the ride was nice, firmer, but it had room for improvement. Removing the sway bar allows for a bit more flexibility, there's more body roll in turns, but i like it much better. Doesn't rattle me over certain bumps/terrain anymore. And it only took about 20 mins to remove, can always put it back on if you want. Also, it would occasionally come in contact with the bottom of the coil at certain angles, since removing it, i haven't heard the "clunk" once. (They do make a relocation bracket for this, but I wanted to go ahead and just ditch it)

    Ditched mine for a few months and ended up putting it back on, even with 886 coils there was a bit too much roll for me on the highway. Wish there was a quick disconnect option out there.

    I was just thinking about doing this with mine and wasn't sure how much trouble it's going to be (will it be worth it). I'm not sure if I want to go white or Blue Ribbon Metallic with mine yet.

    Those look great! I need to look into them myself - did you pick them for any reason review/reputation-wise or did you just go with the ones listed as "really bright"? lol

    So, 2 days after derping my grill emblem, I take a rock chip to the nose. Gouges the derp and dents the emblem.
    So back to the drawing board. 3 coats of gray, 2 anthracite and 2 coats of stripper dust (silver metallizer)
    I deliberately added a bit of texture to hide the new dent.

    I went with those because on the Amazon app it said "Fits your 2006 Toyota Tacoma." It took me less than 5 minutes to install

    Too few to list.
    I know what you mean about the overload brackets needing to be bent to fit over. According to their website, it was designed to replace the overloads. I've seen Icons multi-leaf with overloads and needed no bracket modification.
