    Lowered 3/4, debadged, led tails, projector headlights with hids, billet grill, blacked out windows, painted front and rear bumper and grill shell. Inside, 4 crappy 15's, suede wrapped headliner and door panel inserts, alpine double din, few painted pieces inside, and every led is either blue or white.
    thanks, at least u can respect the work that went into it. i cant take the credit for building them though but u can say that i designed them. with this tacoma i cant start cutting anything until i have it payed off, so while i am paying it off i plan to do the research needed and try to get the skills to be able to build it myself

    no, u just spray it on the outside of the lens. first prep it with some diswasher soap to get all the dirt and grease off then spray

    Truck's looking swell. That tint is DARK. I don't know if I would've gone that dark on the tails, even though they do look good.. How much light are they putting out now? Any night shots? What 22s are you looking at? I'm going to watch this one. Kudos to you, different (in this case) is good.

    they put out a good amount of light especially at night. during the day they arent as bright but i do have some new bulbs coming in that should help that. thanks for the compliment, i always strive to be different haha. here is a night shot of the running lights

    [​IMG]

    and here are the 22s i plan to get

    [​IMG]


    thanks man, the ranger was just bagged and z'd up front. it layed out on 20s. im hoping that in a few years after i have this truck payed off i will be able to bag it and lay frame on 22s. but the plan is that once i get enough money i will just drop it for now

    i tried to clear the headlights just a while ago and no luck. i baked them in the oven at 300 for 5 minutes after i took all the rubber off and everything else and i could not get it apart. maybe i just didnt bake it long enough? im not sure

    well even though there isnt too much interest in this ill update anyways...

    not much of an update but i replaced the stock headlight bulbs with some bulbs that are supposed to have the same look as an 8k hid light. this will do for now until i can afford the real thing. also i took the mud flaps off
