Looks good Come clean mine? You have some detailing skills for sure...

What did you do to headlights, paint?

Will the family jewels survive if the airbag blows or will they just fast-fwd and skip? Not so sure about the remote controls location, the rest of it is awesome!

Lots of guys use XenonDepot for lighting stuff and this interior light swap post is good http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showth...threadid=44954

These are some good light posts too... http://www.top4runners.com/ja/2007/leds.html , http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showthread.php?t=44549 , http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showth...threadid=48928

Thanks man, haha the remote control will need some relocation now that you've brought that up.

For the headlights, I just opened up the hood and used painters tape around the reflector and sprayed it with flat black then cleared it after. Turned out pretty good. If you get any over spray somehow then mineral spirits should do the trick

Thanks for the light links too!

for these pictures I used blue coral detailing supplies. My dad owns a car wash/service station business so we have all of this stuff laying around the garage. Also the car wash is the Turtle Wax Ice car wash fluid

Looks pretty good.

Where do you live? They must not care about tint too much.

What kind of amp do you have?

Thanks for the responses you guys. Ya the 1% can be a little dark at night in some areas. I live in Sacramento, CA. Cops over here do care about tint although I live in an area without a police department so its only CHP that will pull you over which is uncommon for them to be in the area. The sherrifs don't care. Ive gotten popped 3 times for tint etc, been pulled over 5. Worth it? Still debating.

Looks good but just a little too "blacked" out for me. How can anybody see that you are braking with just black taillights????

It's really easy to see the break lights. Not a big problem like most would assume.

Tail lights are not an issue. Light gets through very easily
