    Nothing special just a little different approach than others. I'm getting rid of all the chrome but avoiding the murdered out look. Going for clean and simple.

    Thanks guys! I used 400-grit wet sand, adhesion promoter, light primer and some off the shelf rustoleum at Home Depot, it was actually called Brass, but as you can see it's the perfect bronze. I just received my Matte Black "TRD Off-Road Performance" OEM style stickers for the rear fenders and am on the fence about putting them on...Thoughts? Opinions?

    I'm also blacking out my rear bumper tomorrow night and ordered the rear runner bar by N-Fab. I'm pumped...everything is coming together and I've only had it for two weeks!
