    I don’t remember the size but I just took one of the stock ones out and brought it into my local hardware store and found a countersunk hex head bolt in the same length and thread pitch

    Nice job! I do have a suggestion based on "been there done that" for what it's worth. I recommend removing the foam tape from the adhesive backed mounting pads and replace with 3M Emblem Tape. Just a thought. I've found that the supplied foam tape is fine for indoor use but almost always fails outside.

    Thank you! I’ll try and do this on my wheels. Do you know where I can get a good precut ones for my 19’ TRD OR wheels?

    Took my truck in for its first service since it's been in my hands, atleast I know for sure where it stands on schedule. Got a few questions and compliments regarding the Borla exhaust, which was nice. Also had a tech blurt out, "what the shit?", because he apparently looked directly into my tail lights when my service tech turned on the hazards. Thanks MESO, definitely gave me a laugh this morning!

    Looks perfect. How was it popping the panel out? What "blank" are you using?

    What did I do in a few minutes today?

    I went a different route: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JBH7S4H/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Bought these, 6 for $11.50. Dremel worked the clippy parts and whammo. Fit great, look natural.

    Too each his own, most everyone likes it, just looks old/faded funky to me. Main headlights should be clear clear clear, but I'm old :thumbsup::D

    Frankly your truck looks awesome.

    Oh I gotcha, I actually think it looks kinda smudge and not clear because I was putting my hands all over it. But I appreciate compliment man! Your not old, just well seasoned.
