This is my 4Runner. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
Seriously, what do ya'll think of this? As usual, a larger can of worms than one would expect. Turns out all the plastic clips that hold the molding on can only be purchased from Toyota. $1.10 each for most, $2.50 for the rear flares. There's about 60 of them. That = ouch! The rubber "protectors" that go on top of the wheel flares are $85 bones before tax or shipping. We chose a giant permanent Sharpie marker for $4.00 instead. The paint is a GM semi-gloss. Didn't like the Toyota Matte black. The trim was pretty beat up when I purchased the vehicle so I wanted to re-do it anyway. Fortunately I'm able to trade for the work and supplies.
