    Did you modify the side markers on the new LED headlights, or is that how they come? If you did it, any chance you’ll be making them? I was the one that ordered the old style but you got with me and let me know it wouldn’t work.

    Looks great. I just got my v800 with custom foam, glad to know these will fit. Now I just need my truck to get here.

    The roof and various accents are vinyl wrapped Multicam black 300%. The rest of the truck is painted. I like the camo because it’s mostly black, with a few other subtle colors that flow well with the matte quicksand.


    I just blacked out a certain section of the side marker. The 2020 uses a Celis rod style illumination, and I kinda like it. I just wanted to make the light more pronounced.
    I’ll throw up a write up on the headlights soon.

    I have to say I wasn't sure about those headlights but the turned out great. They fit the look of the truck.

    Yeah me too. I am sacrificing some low beam power, but I have enough other lights to make up for it. I love the Morimotos, but there is just something about OEM Toyota fit and finish that can’t be matched. Plus, they accept my headlight trim plates which I want to showcase(XB’s do not)

    In regards to the glass fenders: what paint did you use for the outer edge of the fender? Looks gritty and more durable. Did you spray the inside the fenders as well?

    Build is looking killer. Can't wait to see the final product. Any boost hiding under that hood?
