    Congrats! Plastidip or high temp engine paint will make the exhaust tip black. Both work good.

    High temp paint yes. Plasti dip on an exhaust?? Even the tip, I’d say heck no. Lol.

    I whole heartedly agree on that, but it does work. I personally won't put plastidip on my truck. Vinyl, bed liner or paint are my preference

    Don’t get me wrong, plastI dip is awesome and I’ve done my grill and my badges with it, my only concern was someone trying to put it on the exhaust and have it burn off and smell like shit.

    Maybe the exhaust tip doesn’t get hot enough to cause it to burn off but I would personally recommend and use high temp paint.

    I agree with u. The OP can tell us for sure. Lol! I thought the 18’s have the different “mesh crap” and it’s darker from most of the ones I have seen. We will soon find out! What up OP? What is it? Congrats though man. Love the truck either way.

    Dude....it’s a 2017. U know...the cheese grater grille. No toaster wire here. Sadly, Toyota’s grille design team gets their inspiration from small kitchen appliances.

    OP....enjoy your new ride and please settle this kitchen quiz.
