    Maybe in time. I've got a too many chrome accents and what not to really have a fully stealth truck for the time being. Plus the cops really don't like it when limits to modifying a vehicle are being pushed too much.

    I think the chrome ones would have looked really bad. My truck will eventually be black on black on black ;) I just ended up with wheels that had alot more chrome on them than what the picture led to believe (probably gonna trade them for something else next spring), the tacoma badge and the OEM skid plate.

    Badge will remain but skid plate will eventually take a flight.

    Did you do your brake lights yourself?

    Do you have pics of the cutoff on these projectors? I was just curious since the links he gave earlier were actually to a cutoff of a different headlight.

    I haven't had the chance to take any yet. I just finished the install late last night and it was pouring outside. I can take some tonight for you and have them on here tomorrow morning.

    Mine turned out pretty straight, haven't had to adjust them yet. They might be a little high but I'll only mess around with them if I get alot of oncoming traffic flashing me.

    Definitely take some pics. I'm just curious if the cutoff looks like the others.

    The truck is at a slight slant to the left in the pic facing the wall. The strip of light against the wall beside the truck in front of me is from my headlights (obviously) I didn't have my fogs on.

    Ah okay, I did the headlights myself (with a little help from a buddy with the wiring), got the battle scars to prove it:eek: HAHA

    I don't think I'll be swapping the brake lights, not any time soon anyhow.

    Yours look good though
