New mods... w/ pics

These are just a couple of mods that I've done over the past couple months to keep me busy. Enjoy.

Color matched tailgate handle with new tinted taillights.


I swapped out my Flowmaster 50 for the Flowmaster super 44 and dumped the exhaust over the rear axle to give it a nice clean look. Also took the chrome tip from before and painted it flat black then added it to the exhaust exit.


Got tired of the fog lights not matching the BHLM, so I went ahead and "sleeved" the fog light housing with Plasti-dip. Here's a link to my How-to thread: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/104265-sleeved-fog-light-housing-how.html


Lastly, I added the X-Runner front valance cover. I think it gives it a real aggressive look.

 

Your truck looks awesome man. I love the color match tailgate handle and the black around the fog lights. How did you color match the tailgate handle and paint around the fogs? I would like to copy you if you don't mind.

 

Awesome truck, great job!

 

Hey long time bud!! Trucks looking great brotha!! I really like how you got the fog surroundings black!!! I've always wanted to see how that looked like and it looks pretty good!! Hmmmm....I might have to try that someday!!

 

Thanks guys!

The tailgate handle was done by a paint shop. However I did the fog lights myself. There is a write-up for it in this thread: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/x-runners/51448-fog-light-area-mod.html
But I just followed the contours on the inside of the fog light housing instead of taking it all the way to the edge.

Yeah it's been awhile, your truck looks awesome! And go for it, it would look really good on your truck. I'm actually thinking about getting the "lazy" eyelids next.

 

Hey thanks for the compliment. You probably havent seen my truck in a while and its come a long ways IMO. But I think Ima have to try this fog light area mod but I might try taking it all the way out to the edge? Hmm.....Ima have to look at my truck and stand back and see what it would look like. But yeah bro, get some eye lids!!!

 

Looks great dude.

 

I haven't been actively posting lately cause I've been busy, but I have kept an eye out on your truck and it's great progress. I wanted to take it to the edge but I was worried because of the crease in the front bumper, I thought it may look wierd. Next on the mod list is eyelids and getting rid of the Revtek spacers.

 

Very nice

 

Thanks!! Yeah I might just try it your way as well cause I see your concern. But yeah, that would be cool if you could get rid of the spacers.

 

Looks badass! Nice job.

 

Hey T-rev, dont mean to thread jack or anything but I didnt want to start a whole new thread on the same subject to post a couple of my pics so I am throwing them onto your thread.

Blacked out scoop.


Blacked out inner fogs.

 

Your headlights look amazing. I need to work up the courage to do this. How long did it take you? Would you be willing to help a fellow AZ'er out?

 

fog lights look amazing

 

Looks great man!! Good job!

 

I'll answer this since I think T-rev is offline. The valance is the part under your lower grill. Look at where T-rev painted his black. That is the valance. I believe the Tundras come stock like that. But it just makes it stand out more and gives it a bit more of an aggressive look. The stuff we used to paint out fogs was Plasti-dip. Black in color of course. It comes in a spray can and you can pick it up at your local hardware store I believe. Now for my hood scoop I used something different. I used rubberized undercoating and then some Krylon fusion black spray paint on top of that to match my skidplate and Avid bar.

 

I love the blacked out foglights could you put more info on how you did it?

 

The headlights took a few hours, it's really easy to do though. But yeah no problem I can definitely help out if you would like, just PM me whenever.

I'll make a how-to thread for this as soon as possible.

 

TW isn't big enough for 2x Trevor's sir. . .

Thanks for all the comments! I added a link to a how-to thread for the fog lights for those of you that were interested in the mod, it's in my original post.
