    Tint...?

    ...and I can't help but think it needs something else...

    Maybe a bit of color... ;) Like red stripes on the rims? (serious, not joking)

    Hmmm more red? Maybe paint the tip of your antenna (2 inches down from top) red? so it is kinda reminiscent of how red tip CB antennas look? Or paint the bare metal bed tie downs with red enamel?

    I figure since the red TRD logos on the wheels are red, you should keep other red aesthetics minimalistic also for a nice clean look.

    Or you could paint your stock skid red if you really wanted people to see it.

    yeah I see a red trend happening here. I was also thinking about doing the grill with the black mesh and putting the fj Toyota emblem in black on the front. I have seen that done and looks pretty good.

    Chrome don't get you home
    Gorilla sells factory black lug nuts
    Black out your calipers flat black
    Black out your radiator and any aluminum parts up front. Radiator paint or BBQ
    Blackout your exhaust tip. BBQ paint
    Blackout your rear drums/brakes

    Did mine a year ago, no issues
