It's plastidipped. Not my choice lol I bought it like that. The guy I got it from wanted the flat black look. It's actually red underneath. Tbh it doesn't bother me so I'm waiting for I to look real bad before i go get it painted

 

That is what I was hoping. I am buying a silver shell and my truck is Army Green. I planned to Plastidip it black to match the black wheel trim. I like it. Thanks for the information.

 

I’ve plasti dipped a few things and have regretted it. Every scratch will cause it to come off a little bit more difficultly. I know a lot of people use it with success…I just haven’t found the proper method I guess. If I had to get the cap painted I would sand and primer it myself rather than plasti dip it. Might cost about the same. Just my opinion

 

Got rid of my chrome OR tail lights with Pros. Also did MESO stage 1’s. In and out in less than 10 minutes.

 

The other option I am considering is having it Rhino lined. The plastidip may be temporary to see how it looks.

 

Tried to start it. Worked after a few tries

 

The truck?

 

yeah. Needs a starter. I’ll have it at the dealer tomorrow

 

I think that would be a great option also. ARE has a cap that is partially lined and I think it looks great! I know around here having linex do it is spendy. They wanted $1500 to do fender flares and kick panel on the outside of my last truck. I’m not sure what a canopy would be but it could cost as much as a new cap. A lot of it is the masking and prep, so if you had the windows out and everything masked it may be cheaper. I’m sure it will look great whatever route you go!

 

Thanks for the advice. I assume Raptor Liner is a consumer available version of Rhino? I will have to look it up.

 

Thanks. I will take my time and think it out. Sometacomadude suggested Rhino lining. That sounds like the way to go cost wise.
I will have to check that out.

 

I like the tail light but the truck beside the toy is a lot of fun.

 

Also did CMC today

 

Thank you. My Lightning is a blast for sure. Makes the Tacoma seem like an old VW bug in terms of acceleration. Kinda ready for something else fun, looking at CTS-V’s gen1.

 

Yeah the CTS would be fun but it’s a car. Lol trucks ain’t supposed to handle like the lightning. My brother bought one years ago and he isn’t a gear head. He bought it cause he liked the looks of it. I said I will be right there to drive it, afterwards he said oh crap I didn’t know…

 

Looks great

 

The Noico sound deadening I ordered from Amazon arrived early so I spend a couple of hours doing this to the rear storage area of the double cab. Last week I installed a Rockville powered amp and wanted to cut down some of the vibrations.
