    6% Tint all around, Toyota all-weather floor mats, Toyota bed extender and skid plate, Python 991 remote-start alarm, oem cruise control and class III hitch were all installed within a couple months. I then installed Icon c/o's and Icon's 3-leaf aal with 17x9" GA9's and 285/70/17 Goodyear Duratrac's. The DRL mod was done, as was a custom rack setup similar to the org. cross bars. Blacked out headlights bought online, and a BOSS 1500 under-seat sub installed along with a Pioneer double-din DVD player

    Hey, not to sure about those ones, I have a smoked film over top of my stock fog lights that I got from another member. I'm sure there have been a few members who have tried those though!

    Thanks, I was just noticing tonight how much brighter they are than my blacked out ones, so I'm glad I got them. Just can't wait til I can cover that chrome piece with black, then they will tie in better with the rest of my truck.

    What kind of paint did you use on that engine cover of yours?
    and is it clear coated?
    does it scratch?
    heat?

    Nice looking truck!!!

    They're called Cragar soft 8's or something like that. I wouldn't recommend them, I had to run 1/4" spacers and trim the actual wheels where the holes were stamped out because they hit my caliper, which also got shaved lightly. Too much work for the results I feel. I still have them though if your interested, but I can't guarantee they'll work without any issues.

    Thanks!! It's a great setup!

    Retro went pretty well, there are a few things I would do different if I were to do it again, but I love how it turned out!

    I'm about ready to pull the trigger on ordering some black headlights and a retro kit. I really like the look of yours with everything blacked out, do you have any advice or tips? You can pm me if you want to avoid cluttering your thread if need be.

    Nice dude, it's gonna be awesome, talk to Yosh, he has done several, and knows the process in and out. I've only done it once, so he should be able to help you better. The biggest advice I can help you with is take your time!! Do not rush anything.
