    I have wanted to do this ... I have pretty much blacked out everything else including the steering wheel ('14 TRD) ... looks good.

    Thanks man! Lots of trial and error with the derp. Figured I wanted it perfect since it's something I'd look at all the time.
    How the heck did you get your steering wheel parts off?

    I just did this myself. Even with the plastic pry tool it was a pain in the ass.

    Yes. I use to use them on my Super swampers to white out the letters. I would redo it every 3 months.

    It's not hard. Smallest flathead screwdriver you have and just pry it off. Couple light taps puts it back on. Done.

    I can see doing the white on the already white letters. How about red? Is it thick enough to not be pink?

    Reviews that I've seen on it indicate it's more trouble than it's worth.
