    Are the sliders bare steel unpainted? Did you do any sealing for rust protection?

    Did you customize those halos yourself or did you buy them in that angry configuration?

    Did anyone notice the difference in paint color? I've seen a few like this and noticed in this pic. Is this common?

    Very common on the MGM's. I believe it's caused by the orientation of the metal flake in the paint.

    If the doors were not painted during the same run, then there was probably some variation between either the batch of paint, the painting process, or both.

    It's not just Tacoma's or even Toyota's. If you look close on any dark colored metallic paint vehicle you will see this if the lighting is right.

    It's mostly noticeable in certain types of lighting? You will usually see it when the sun is low on the horizon.

    I’m still sticking to my theory that there are *slight* variations in the angles of the parts. The lighting has an abrupt change on the b pillar vinyl, indicative of angle change, not paint.

    Sorry for pulling up an old post, just saw this cover. What kind of cover is this? I love the way it looks.
