Hey man, let's see a close up... Sorry for off topic.

- 3M 1080 Satin Black Vinyl Wrap -

Here you go..

Wow! That looks really good.

Preesch! It was really easy to work with, but it would've helped if I had waited for my buddy to come over and help. Regardless, I was able to work any/all creases to either the bottom or back side of rails so they aren't visible.

Yes, that wrap looks great! Did you just use a 1'x5' piece and wrap it around and into the crossbar channels to make it seamless?

Exactly--Though I did have a few small creases, but was able to push them around out of view to where everything visible is seamless.

...bought a 60"x24" roll and have plenty leftover

That looks great! Way better than my spray-on plastidip job looks in the sunlight!
Thanks for the closeup pictures and write up!
It's already making me reconsider doing the rails that way

 

[Buckles]

I ordered some black painted door handles today, along with a painted hatch panel and the black fog light bezels. Just need to get a black grill and plastidip all the chrome trim on the bumpers.

Looks great! Did you apply the wrap with the bars/rails on the truck or did you take them off? Also, do you think adding an aftermarket rail system such as Yakima RailGrabs would chew the wrap up?

I took them off.

Not at all. I could easily add anything to the rack and/or move my current cross bars location.

This is not an ultra-slick solution but it worked for me, mostly because I'm not a fan of plastidip. Got these overlays on eBay. I would rather have purchased a real smoke set from Toyota but could not find a complete set of the right size. Anyway, these are solid black so no flaking or chipping and they fit well. The tape says "3M" but no way to tell if its real or not. Total cost was $80.

I am a huge fan of the stormtrooper white-on-black look.

The eBay blackout kit price is getting out of control. Is there another seller of this product? 2014 2015 Toyota 4 Runner Emblem Matte Black Out Badge Kit 11 Piece Kit | eBay

I was wondering the same thing. Seems he killed a 79.99 buy-it-now format in favor of the current auction.

WHOA! You're right. It was $79.99 two days ago (maybe even yesterday). Who is bidding $130+ for that?!?!

TRDP Rear Hatch Handle Panel + Blackout Kit

Swapped the rear hatch handle panel out for the TRD/TE panel (black), and then applied the blackout kit. I have to say it was well worth the wait and looks awesome!

Shout out to [MENTION=28870]d_clark[/MENTION]

Next up, rear bumper garnish...

Greed...hopefully it's terminal.

 

[EasyAndy]

Wow... That is ridiculously expensive. Why not just paint or Plastidip for a total of $5?

 

[Hook 'Em Horns!]

Installed the TRDP rear bumper cover last night

I just applied my 79.99 eBay blackouts on my black sr5, looks great but now I find out I could have just bought four or five sets and make some cheddar on eBay! Seriously though, looks great but $80 was pushing the upper limits.
