They look pretty good, Ill post pics later. Their quality is admittedly not as good as the oem, but I expected that. But dammit, now I have to buff my headlights, they look dull next to them, lol!! I was kind of expecting that, but Im lazy and dont want to do it!

I think itll be 4 weeks Monday that Ive had the truck. So far Ive installed Silverstars, clear corners and lenses, AVS bug deflector, 08 rims and new tires, in dash double din dvd/cd/navi and a few other odds and ends. And I havent even begun yet :banana:
 
looks good dude... i like the color scheme u got going on of chrome and dark green. Im usually not a fan of chrome but its not bad on ur runner!

Thank you very much. I wasnt a fan of the chrome either and was going to black out the bumpers and grill, but lately its actually been growing on me and I might keep the chrome. I think with the clears, the chrome looks even better. Ill see how it looks after tint and running boards or rock sliders, then decide if Im going to keep the chrome or not.
 
no they come painted to match

Are they a dealer only dealio? That sounds interesting, I know when I see them I think they look great. Theyre bigger then my flares, right? Then do you also install the panels on the doors too? How much $$??

Dammit, you guys keep making my list longer and longer, and Im suppossed to be buying my mom a car soon as well as saving up for a new sports car to replace my Miata this summer. Stop with the ideas, youre killing me! :)

Bushwhacker makes some that you can have painted... They look just like the limited's

The panels are seperate and those are either salvage yard or dealer only. But the larger flares are nice. I've been thinking of Bushwhackers or hopefully some like yours to pop up for sale

Thanks Justin. After you mentioned them I did a search and came up on the Bushwhackers. Theyre about $400, and thats the cheap price, some wanted close to $600 for them!! Then paint. Thats probably too rich for my blood right now with all the other things I have coming up automotively in the next few months.

I would love them though, its a great idea and theyd look great.
 
I just realized I forgot to swap the corner bulbs out with the amber ones. They actually look pretty good with the white. Can I get pulled over for that? Do all cars have to have amber corners?
 
Hell if anything just throw them on while they're black (still larger) then later save to get them paint. Probably 150 at most.

I just cant justify that expenditure right now. Ive got an alarm, remote start, tint going on next week, and am helping my mom with a new car purchase as well. I wonder how my current flares would look if I just got them painted.
 
I like the runner rims. I was wondering what the new gen tires would look like on a third gen, looks good!

Thanks! Im lovin this truck. Ive always wanted a 3rd gen runner. I was suppossed to get married March 13th. We had the hall booked, noneymoon suite, guest list, everything. About a month before the wedding, super***** came out and it all went to hell. This truck was my gift to myself. And frankly, now, Im glad I have it instead of her :driving:

Hi Muti

I read somewhere recently that there is a FEDERAL law that corners had to have an amber LENS! There was actually a recall on a vehicle that shipped with clear corners?!

That being said - I think you'd be better off swapping out that amber when you have a chance but Ive never ever heard of someone actually being pulled over for that.

Where did you get yours? This is in my wishlist too! Are you happy with the more clouded lens or do you wish it was more glass like?

Thanks man.

Id prefer more glass like to be honest, but you cant expect too much from cheap aftermarket stuff. But all in all, I do think they look great, I love the all white look and as a result Im now thinking I may also keep my chrome bits.

This is the guy I bought mine from. His price is reasonable, he shipped fast, and he included all 4 amber bulbs too.

1996-1998 TOYOTA 4RUNNER CLEAR CORNERS + BUMPER LIGHTS : eBay Motors (item 220587033690 end time May-09-10 15:52:16 PDT)

Unfortunately it looks like he just raised his price though. :dammit: I paid $48.98 shipped.
