    Went with the original KOs (still think they look better than the KO2s) in 265/70/17 load C (only 45 lbs) with the black Pro Comp 7089 wheels in 17x8 with a 0 offset. Exactly the look I wanted! And...it really didn't affect my mpg (maybe half a mpg less) as I'm still getting 18.1 mpg!

    No, I sanded it down with a medium then fine sponge block, then used Krylon Satin Black Colormaster spray paint (3-4 coats), then a VERY LIGHT and THIN Krylon Satin clear coat (only 1 light thin coat). Be sure to hold the clear coat can a few extra inches away and almost just mist the emblem with the clear coat. If you get too close or put more than one clear coat it will turn the black grayish or kind of milky white looking. If done like I mentioned, it will almost have the EXACT color and sheen of the black grill....matches perfectly!

    Only thing I have is Bilstein 5100s in the front at the 1.75 setting with stock springs, sits perfectly level. I had to remove my OEM mud flaps though afterwards bc then new tires were rubbing slightly where the mud flaps "bulged out" on the inner side of the front ones. Just got my Husky liners in the mail!

    Yes, rattle can with clear coat. No flaking or peeling whatsoever after 3-4 months now.
