    Just don't over tint it. Your local tint shop should know the law and tint it as dark as possible without going over.

    Otherwise your just throwing good mod money down the drain.

    wash them with soap and water...then wipe them down with wax and grease remover before you ever start sanding..scuff them up till they are sanded uniformly id use 400 grit paper then before painting them blow them off and re wipe them down with wax and grease remover. then use a tack rag and spray them with you paint

    Thanks man. I'm tryin to figure out how to do it though cause a jack won't fit under my truck. Think I could paint while the tires are still on the truck?

    If a jack won't fit under your truck how do you plan to change a tire if need be?

    I need to buy some goof off though. And those little SR5 letters behind the back door are going to a pain in the ass, I can tell. They aren't the same material as the 'Toyota Tacoma' badge. I started to heat it up and it was coming apart in pieces.
