They don't make precut sheets for 3rd Gens.
That's just the effect Laminx has.

hey all thanks for the comments! ill try to answer all of the questions as for the Grabbers they are awesome! they look even better in person. i personally like them better than the BF Goodies. but they are 265 70r 16's there pretty quiet with a nice little hum at about 30mph. nothing terrible though, very meaty tire. and they would have fit perfect if my bumper wasn't bent. :frown:
with the laminX ya i got it from here
http://www.lamin-x.com/
and here is a site of some guys showing the differnt colors
http://www.tintdude.com/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t36395.html
i ordered the 24" by 24" sheet make sure you get the sheet and not the role unless you plan on doing more than one car. its only $70 shipped, but ya those are the stock lights. i really like how the blinkers came out. The light comes out nice too. it doesn't darken it hardly at all so i think im safe with the cops. (hopefully) but ya i think i may buy some smoked tails cause that laminx stuff was a pain on the curved parts. the back light has so many grooves too so i may get some of the led's but than id have to do the third brake light haha! ive heard bad things on the brake LED's though, I cant stand dummy lights goin off at me. ebay used to have these sick smokded tail lights that wen't LED but i cant find them anymore. but ya the emblems are down the road too. ive gottal find where to get some cheaper ones. i think the dealership charges a pretty penny for them. it think my next weekend mod is gonna be the swap on the interor lighting dash/hvac/ dome etc...
the rims stick out a little more than the stocks cause the offset is a little different but i love how it does that. it gives it a better stance.
ya there is gonna be a lift down the road. maybe soon too. it depends on the tax return. but ya the dealership has a 2.5 suspension lift for 500 something instlalled so we'll see
and as for the centercaps thats all they offered, it kinda stinks but im really hoping i can get those trd ones. it will look much better!!

A 2.5" lift from the dealer? With install? That's awesome.

Unfortunately, you're too late on the emblems. Toyota has discontinued the BP emblem kit (I was fortunate to pick the kit up back in '06). I checked with Toyota about 8 months ago, and they only offer 2 of the 7 BP emblems. Go figure.
However, you may be able to find them at a junk yard. You just need to remove them, add some new adhesive and you're good to go.
Other than that, you could always try the poor man's BP emblem mod - It envoles removing your currently emblems, sanding them down and then spray painting each one with a color that resembles the black pearls.

oh wow that sucks about the emblems, dang hmmm i just mave to paint them. which 2 can you get? cause i may just elimate a few back there, what did you pay for them? thats kinda wierd cause you'd think they would have some to replace for insurance purpose's but then again you'd probably get the same story as the trd wheels. o-well thanks for the heads up though!
ya i while ago i was pricing out a lifts, i went to Swab and got a qutoe on 3" suspension at $780 something installed than i went to the dealer and the parts guy said it was $560 installed. I dont know if my dealer's different from eveyone else's, they have all kinds of their brand new Fj's, Tundras, 4runners all with lifts and tons of mods like ARB bumpers, revolving light racks loaded with piaa lights, and wenches, all that stuff we all dream about, they fix em up pretty nice. but ya i wish i could remember more on it cause that just sounds too good to be true. but i gotta replace my stuts soon and that will be at least $400, so if thats still available ill probably pull the trigger on the lift. my only down fall is getting in the garage. ut ya let me know If yall talk to your dealers let me know what they say cause thats a killer deal!

Don't remember which 2 were still available...I want to say the front grille emblem and maybe the word "TOYOTA" for the rear hatch.
And I agree, it sucks that they all are not still available. I seriously hope someone does not rear end me...if so, then bye, bye black pearls.
As far as price, they were $$$. I got a great deal on them since I knew guy in parts at Toyota, but if you had to pay list price for them, (hope you're sitting down) you'd be looking at $350. The front emblem alone lists for $90...what a joke.

holy fiz! Im glad i was sitting down thats ridiculous! ya screw that haha, dang. ya ive got plans for the front grill so i dont think ill get that one, prob just paint for now till i figure out my lil prodject. wow! its amazing what a little piece of plastc can cost. haha!
ya ill get a pic of the front for you did you want the lights on? or just a straight forward pic? it may a little bit before i can get it cause i useually work dusk to dark, but ill get it when i get a chance. but ya i like the laminx better than the JDM look, i seriously made my pitted faded blinkers look brand new! and ya its way cheaper.

by the way i just thought of this, with paiting my emblems im definently going blacked out look but what if i paint one say the SR5 like a metalic red? what do yall think,
oh and i got my 1st hater on my rims, she's my co-worker but she's like "i dont like those, you should of got the deep dishes" aka DUB's AKA D's i laughed at her and was like no way! those things only look good on Cadi's and big ass trucks. she's very cinical (i think thats the word) on everything and anything people do so i just said "ya whateva" and brushed her off lol!

i debaged mine i think. and tinted the third light with the sr5 on it, so it was red sr5 on black light haha it was cool till it faded you have to really look to see it. debaged with red "T"s would be sick tho!
and i debaged mine because it said 4runner twice... above the license and to the right of the license plate... it was really strange.
just make it original and ba...bam! and btw i am not a black fan. nope. i just took the fenders off and theres still snow on my street and its all smushy gets stuff everywhere haha.

ya the snow in utah just hangs out, its finally off my street somewhat... but ya the salt just makes a mess on the black paint. but when its clean it sure is pretty nice!
So you really think a red Toyota emblem would look good? i gotta visulize it, maybe ill take my photoshop skills on it and see what it looks like. for the front, this was going to be my little secret till i got it done but it may be a while casuse of all the other mods i wanna do 1st, but you all have seen the Ivan Stewart trd grill for the tundras? well thats going to be my approach for the front grill, im going to have to fab one myself somehow cause they dont make them for the Runner, even if they did i would not pay $400 for a grill, so ya i think that would look bad a$$ my opinion anyway. but ya keep the ideas coming, i love the ideas!!

oh ya! thats kinda what im going for, i hope i get those trd caps that would be all much better! i should do a search before i ask this but on the other emblems how do yall think a matte black w/ a clear coat would look? i dont know if the clear coat would defeat the ourpose of the "matte" or not? hmmm.
