    Nice truck!

    I think the headlights look out of place.. At least do a BHLM
    and red always look sharp on dark.
    So something with your wheels..

    Very nice. I've got a 2013 DCSB Trd Sport, Magntic Gray. I plan on doing much of the same thing, blacking out with red accents. Going to paint the break calipers red and get red coils. It will match the red TRD logo on the truck bed. Currently I have XD series Revolvers, will replace XD center caps with FJ TRD center caps, red lettering.

    3" toytech lift, front spacers, AAL in the rear, 285/75r16 goodyear duratrac, blacked out emblems and taillights, pained grill
    Yeah mine were chrome as well. For the front I took off the chrome emblem and the grill frame. Wet sanded them down with 1000 grit sand paper. Primed it with plastic primer, did a few coats of black paint then a few clear coats of clear semi gloss. Got all the paint at lowes. For the rear bumper I took it off the truck, took all the plastics off so
    Just the chrome piece was left and did about 8 coats of plasti dip. Did the rear tail lights with night shade.
