I've never seen a list, so my guess is no, but I won't be surprised to hear someone say there is one.

Would be nice to compose a list but this was quickly flooded with opinions and other non related posts ....

If you search the classifieds on here and also on the fj cruiser forum you will definitely find a set. Sometimes craigslist will have them but I haven't had much luck in my area
what kind of paid did you use for the silver? Any clearcoat applied?
How does it match to the naked eye?

It is the hammered silver, paint and primer in one from Rustoleum. The silver is almost spot on but I didn't want it to match that close so I went with the hammered. They do have just a silver paint same type.

Used some dead space up in my 07 4Runner
I have noticed that far back window on the driver side of my rig is useless, for me anyways. I can use it to my advantage.
I carry items with me, even if not on the trail, and have actually used this stuff helping others out. Yes, that includes dead Jeeps with broke crank position sensors blocking traffic in the left lane.
I have a bag that I keep this stuff in, but no "real" place to keep it.
I scored some metal drawer pulls for a few bucks. They are even gray
. Some large washers to add to both sides of the plastic panel for strength. I had to cut the screws shorter than they were, but no big deal.
Placed around the window, and went thru my pile of bungee cords.
Strap and snug down my bag of "stuff".
And now my floor is free of clutter. Well, until I go wheeling and load up my tools, air supply, etc... in a tub that I ratchet down.
Not a real "mod", per se. Just killing a few hours on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

theyre just stock 17" FJ wheels with some rattle can matte black
depending what year the acura is most Acuras didnt have a MAF
Anyway I have run K&N filters for awhile and have never had a problem...
I do not over oil but I try not to under oil it either...
Most of the cars I have owned had MAF meters and some were turbo cars too all with KN installed...

Totally agree, I don't under oil my filters either. I've had a K&N drop in run on both my 4Runners for a good 8 or 9 years and never had an issue with the MAF either

Just got my T4R last Tuesday...only problem is, I'm in Africa, and it's in St. Louis.
I coordinated having my mechanic check it out, and my lady look at it, it passed both of their battery of tests, so I pulled the trigger and it's in my garage. Now I have another few weeks to order things and droll.
Stats:
2007 Sport V6 4x4
Natural White
All fluids flushed, replaced, and topped off.
Tires have good meat still.
XREAS system
106K
Use: Daily Driver, Camping, Mo trails, not crawling.
Effect desired : make it look mean, maintain good road handing, not look like a cheese d!ck
Plans:
-Tint remaining front windows 35%, maximum MO law allows.
-powder coat wheels (setting appointment now so it's done by the time I get home) black satin
-hardwire valentine 1 radar detector
-plasti dip badges and grill
-blackout headlights / tail lights
-install taillight guards
Amazon.com: Black Horse Off Road 7TU15A Black Tail Light Guards: Automotive
-toss around the bull bar idea for cosmetics mainly
Amazon.com: Westin 30-0025 Light Bar - Black: Automotive
-1" leveling kit, Daystar
Amazon.com: Daystar KT09117BK Comfort Ride 1" Front Strut Spacer Kit: Automotive
These mods will eliminate all exterior chrome (exception being exhaust tip).
Also, since I've not physically seen or driven the T4R yet I don't want to change many more things mainly so I have a good before and after.
Ideas I'm kicking around.
Interior LED swap
MAF mod (or getting a CAI)
Upgrading tires to 265/70R17, think I could get away w/ 265/75R17 w/out any rubbing? Also they'd be BFG AT TKO
Am I missing any glaringly obvious low hanging fruit?
The below are pictures that members on here have posted. These are not mine. My end goal would be something extremely similar to the below.
BTW - kudos to the below owners. Clean, very clean.

Weekend resonator removal
Will be removing the stock resonator and replacing with this tip. Plan on a 45 degree angle out the corner or keeping it out the back, but really having second thoughts about the size. 2 1/2 in, 3 1/2 out. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.:frusty::tea:Universal Dual Exhaust Pipe Tip 2 5" Inlet 3 5" Outlet Angle Cut Stainless Steel | eBay

There's no way you'll fit the BFG 265/75 tires with just they 1" Daystar spacer. The 265/70 tires will look really good though. I love your mod ideas (sans bull bar, but TEHO)!
What would be the largest I could do w/ just the leveling kit? Sticking w/ that same tire. Go w/ the factory recommended 265/65/17, and use the more aggressive tread AT/TO?
