My build of my 2013 BLK Prerunner

First time owner of a 2013 BLK Prerunner! Couldn't be happier with my pick!!
Just wanted to keep everyone up with my build and take any suggestions in!!
List of mods I want to do:
3" lift kit
Exhaust
Intake
XD Series rims
And some other little things here and there!

 

Little project before heading into work... Blackout my tail lights,bumper,grill,and badges. Still gotta do my third light when i got time. i will post other pics when i got sometime! Just some little mods so i can save for the bigger ones haha

 

Looks good! Might want to wet sand and polish the tails to get a nice shiny look.

 

^Agreed

 

yea i was thinking to clear coat my lights but wasnt sure lol

 

Fast action to already mod while still having paper license plates lol!

 

Your going to have to wet sand and polish cause just clear coat wont get them the way you want them to look.

 

i used plasti dip. just because its easy to work with. so i dont think i can wet sand it. just do a clear plasti over the matte

 

haha yea couldnt wait.something small better nothing

 

I would have just used VHT Nightshades... just as easy to work with... and it's got a luster to it. I did 3 coats of Nightshades, I think.. 8 coats of Crystal Clear by Krylon, and then wed sanded, with 800. 1000, and 2000 grit paper. THen polished using Turtle Wax Polishing paste, and some Meguiars ScratchX. Mine are smooth as glass.... and allow more than enough light to pass, even in the day time.

 

There used to be a great write-up on how to tint your tails with VST niteshades but I think its been deleted cause I havent seen it in a couple years I believe. You have to be careful with that stuff though cause even with 1 coat it will dry up pretty dark.

Edit: Oops here is the thread right here!!! http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/lighting/84694-how-tinting-tail-lights-right-way-pics.html

 

Your lightbulbs could be burnt out and if she ass ends you it's still her fault. Standards of fault place more than 51% of the blame on the person rear ending another car, regardless of "reason".

 

I can't say what the cops will do in the event of a collision... but I can say that I've followed my Taco during the middle of the day, and at night... and my signals show through perfectly.

I've also had a cousin of mine, who is a cop... tell me they were fine. Every cop is different though... so it is a chance you are taking, I suppose....

 

My state's standards of fault have no exception for that, so out my way if you rear end someone, you are on the hook regardless. I've booked thousands of accidents, and an insurance broker friend made me a copy of the standards of fault they use. Maybe out west it's different?

 

very clean!!! any write up on this?? im guessing you took your lights off to do it? and the cost?

 

im in vegas. i believe we are at fault state but i need to look this up tho!!

 

I'm thinking of using VHT as well. Does anyone have tried putting one coat only? Any pics?
