Stealthy... I like it... But, I would've gone darker on the tails. I sprayed mine pretty dark, almost looks like covers and the light shows through just fine. You have he LED tails so yours should be brighter still. I also used the spray tint to do my front emblem, so it looks like black chrome in the light. BTW, how do you remove the rear emblem?

That looks sick man! Really clean. Makes me miss having a black truck.

I would definitely tint the 3rd brake light, it looks wierd to have it be the only thing red on the car. If your worried about getting pulled over I have been pulled over for a tinted license plate cover and the cop never said anything about not having any red. I just always roll with my lights on.

A nice custom dual exhaust would really complete the exterior. Maybe something more like this...

You definitely have one of the cleanest 4runners I have seen, nice job.

Your 4Runner looks great!

How did You blackout the headlights and tail lights?

 

[J.A.]

I'm voting for BADASS. Very nice. I have done the spray tint on the tails before on other vehicles...both light like you have now and full dark. While I prefer the lighter shade that you have done, I think your rig can handle and would look even better with them darker and definetly do the third light.

Emblems look great, would like to hear what was used.

Footwells look great. I am ordering from Oz soon myself and it is good to see how the orange looks. I am still undecide on orange or white.

:bigok:

Thanks man, the tails look a lot darker in person, and completely black at night, when it's parked. I thought about getting them 100% blacked out using niteshade, but I went a lighter route instead. To get the rear emblem off, use a flat head screw driver, but heat it up with a hair dryer first

Thanks man, the 3rd brake light was suppose to be tinted but they didn't for sone reason, I didn't notice it until I got home... lol Yeah that is one reason why I was hesitating on taking it bac, I don't want to get pulled over for not having any red. But your 4Runner looks badass too, did you ever get that blacked out billet grille? I'm thinking about getting that soon, your exaust looks good as well, I might have to do somethin like that.

Your 4Runner looks great!

Thanks man, Bowtie3 (user on this forum) blacked out my headlights, you can send him a PM. And I had the tail lights done at a shop, they used a film.

Thanks man, the emblems were painted with the same paint that's on my 4Runner, the shop did them for me when I had my new bumper put on, when the painted the bumper they went ahead and did all the emblems for no charge!

The orange matches a little, it's definitely a much deeper and darker orange than the dash/gauge lighting. I think I might order some white ones.

Thanks Ric, that's means a lot coming from someone who has one of the best looking 3rd Gen's! As for the emblems, they were painted with gloss black paint, same paint that's on my car, so they match perfectly.

Looks really good!

You definitely need to do something with your exhaust though. I think they make black chrome, although I've never seen it.

Why are you going with the 50 over the 40?

 

[GottaBeTRD]

ya man! that looks fricken sick! im lovin it! with the exhaust, (IMO) duel would be sweet OR someone mentioned they had it coming out the side like the 3rd gen's that would look sweet too, but no man good job on the black-out, i cant wait to get my emblems painted! it does make a huge difference!

Black chrome would look badass, I might have to look into that! Well I had a 40 on my 98 4Runner and it was so damn loud, went with the 50 on my 02 and was more satisfied with it, is there any other exaust you would recommend besides Flowmaster?

Thanks man! Yeah the emblems made a huge difference! You will be impressed.

looks kickass man! makes me miss my black one

 

[Seatown]

It's Murdahhhhh! Nice blackout; looks really sweet - I had the same thing going on my '07 Tacoma before i got rid of it.

 

[mprsev]

Looks good! I really like the blacked-out headlights but I am concerned about them fogging up here in Seattle with all the moisture.

 

[Cruzrtwdgt]

I love it all but the wheels. personally, I like a little chrome to offset all the black and 22's I think would look a little better with some shine. I really dig all the rest though..........

great job.

 

[HB 4X4]

I second Ric's reply, very nice. In the street rig category it's the nicest 4Runner on here IMO. Where are the LEDs hooked up for power?

 

[BlairB]

I really like it, it keeps looking better and better.

One comment, pull the bug guard off. I think it throws off the lines a little too much and would definitely look better without it.

Appreciate it man, what made you decide to go from an 07 Tacoma down to an 04 4Runner?

As good of a job as Bowtie did you don't have to worry about a leak of moisture, he sealed them up good!

great job.

Thanks man, I thought about doing some gloss black rims w/ a chrome lip but the Riockstars on Nitto TG's won me over.

I second Ric's reply, very nice. In the street rig category it's the nicest 4Runner on here IMO. Where are the LEDs hooked up for power?

Thank's man I appreciate it! The LED's are hooked up in the fuse box so when I turn my lights on they come on.

 

[Iron Clad Lou]

wow man, thats well done!

 

[Mtn.Rush]

VERY NICE, great job. Rims are a bit 2 big for my taste, but that is one sharp/stealthy ride.

 

[Seatown]

Thanks man! :bigok:

Appreciate it man, what made you decide to go from an 07 Tacoma down to an 04 4Runner?

The main reason was cost; i'm saving about $225/month in payments with the 4runner. Another is that i never really used the truck for it's bed; don't get me wrong, that was my dream car. The 4runner has so much room and carrying capacity that the decision all though tough, made sense.

Keep up the good work!
