    I got the set of headlights and side markers off of eBay. The turn signals in the bumper were white and I tinted those with a spray on tint. I think it was made by VHT and you can get it at autozone.

    I just Plasti dipped the whole front bumper. Wanted to see what it would look like. Eventually I want to get a plate steel front bumper. But for now I think it looks pretty good. Lights came from eBay.

    None at all. They have been great so far. I'd buy them again in a heartbeat.

    cant go wrong with a grillcraft MX series! no pics of mine up right now except in my sig. but you can put virtually anything you want on it emblem-wise, i just put a TRD emblem on mine in the corner, and im soon going to be putting lights behind it. grillcraft sits flush so you have the behind grill clearance to put lights back there! we dont have too much space in the 1st gens

    I've built one for every year 1st gen:

    95-97
    [​IMG]

    98-00
    [​IMG]

    01-04
    [​IMG]

    They each have there own challenges but I prefer the 01-04 over the rest for doing a Satoshi Mod.
    The earlier years do not work well with my mod process.:(
