Future Mod Options

[momo.75]

Since I got my black front and rear bumpers the gray cladding just hasn't looked right to me. I finally found a guy parting out a 4th gen close to me so I grabbed the cladding pieces. The are being color matched black right now. Since I can't seem to leave things along I started looking at some other ideas. I just wanted to see what you guys thought. I still have a ways to go with these tires and the next set will not have a white lettering option. As far as the wheel color, depending on which direction I go with I might have these powder coated or I might sell these and buy another set of 17". There are more tire size options in 17" than 18".

Middle picture bottom row gets my vote. Dark bronze is the new black. Amber light bar contrasts nicely.

Yep, like the dark bronze, blackwalls and amber light bar combo.

Always loved the polished methods though!

A buddy tried an amber light bar. First time he turned it on he said 'Why the f@#k did I buy amber? This is f@#kin dumb.' And I agreed. Lighting everything up orange is just weird.

Amber cuts through dust, fog and rain better than white light. It would just be Laminx film anyway, so I could always remove it.

Yeah, I've noticed they produce a little less glare in some conditions which could be a plus. I didn't like the loss of color definition and reduced intensity (perceived maybe?) for the vast majority of my driving conditions.
It's a personal preference thing I guess. Either way, you're rig will still look cool!

I've got amber covers on my ditch light cubes, and they really help during rain and heavy snow (which you don't get lol). Perhaps covers would be a good option so you can take them off when you want bright light. If you scroll down the page, looks like they recommend multiple covers to cover longer bars; https://extremeledlightbars.com/lens-cover-for-led-light-bars

First one.

To me, a black (or any dark) vehicle looks best with contrasting wheels. Oddly, I don’t feel the same about light vehicles having dark wheels. Hmmm, maybe I just don’t like dark wheels!

I also like RWLs on the tires but they have to be kept clean or they look like crap, and that can get old.

Look forward to seeing what you decide.

This is the option I was looking for, too.

Haha...was just typing this up. Bronze is defiantly the newest online community craze but rightly so IMO. I've been drooling over bronze wheels for mine a while now. My vote is dark bronze!

Also, instead of debadging the side lettering, just plastidip it black or even Bronze color them. Matte black still contrasts against the gloss black w/out being overly obvious like the chrome. I think no lettering on the side is too plain. I did debadge the rear hatch though.

If you don’t mind me asking, how much is it setting you back to paint all these? My right side cladding all has chipping clear coat at the top so at some point I’ll have to have mine redone [emoji37]

I feel confident that the 15 year old paint will match up with the new paint.

It will be around $500 for the paint work for all 10 pieces.
