    :spy: or subdued mods may be a better term...

    Would like to see/hear about anything that you have done that can't really be seen unless you pointed it out.

    examples: Flyzeye or under hood lighting or bed cubbie lighting...

    kinda like an "inspector gadget" mod - there when you need it.

    I suppose the only "stealth" thing I've got on my truck is the TRD emblem in black on the grill. I hate chrome and wanted something that kind of stood out but blended in at the same time.

    I did the "map lights on with dome light" mod and the Flyzeye. Love the results. Map lights fade with the dome light and really make a difference in my DCLB in a parking lot at night. Flyzeye makes all the difference in center console lighting. Also added two additional LEDs, one in the cubby to the right of the steering column and another in the forward console cubby under the dash. They dim with instrument lights.

    TRD Supercharger + too much stuff to list. Click sig pic
    That's pretty much the approach I take on most all of my mods. It takes more work but I prefer the 'could have come from the factory that way' look. Link in my sig to my build thread has a list of mods along w/pictures.

    Black Sand Pearl factory paint - flattened "au natural" by tree branches.
    I found some switches at my local auto parts place that looked exactly like the factory seat heater switches, except they were plain black. I put them in the factory seat heater switch location in the center console and use them for my off road lights and ABS kill swith.
