I was going through pictures I saved to my computer and ran across a couple pictures that could be useful to others in this thread. Sorry if this is your ride and I haven't given you credit. As I said I just stumbled upon some that I saved. I'll try too look where I originally found it later.

Ok, I found this Japanese site a while back but didn't spend too much time exploring it. I just revisited it and found this pick of the tail light garnish that I ordered. I think it looks sweet, even on white, which I wouldn't have expected.

Man, I didn't even notice that! Your right, quite tasty. Do you know of anyone that sells those other than Shuei? I'm guessing that is where this guy got them.
 
I know we are getting a little off topic, but oh well. These japanese rides have so many things to talk about, it was bound to happen.

I typed in the website on that white rig and found the following fenders. These look like 'em, but I have no idea if they are. Anybody know? Click HERE to go to where I found this pic:

Edit: I deleted the pic, because I saw a note on their website in english saying not to reproduce anything. Oh well, ckick the bottom white box on the left and then scroll down to the bottom to see the pic I am talking about.

Ok, from your username I infer you have a '98, what guards did you order?

I am trying to be patient too. Mine are JDM, so I fully expected to wait when I ordered them.
 
i was thinking about getting some taillight guards for my 4th gen and then having them painted to match my titanium metallic,
what do u guys think?

This link should jump you to page 8 of the 4th gen picture thread that has a pic of a titanium runner with chrome bull and rear bars. It will give you an idea of the look of the chrome on titanium. Personally, I like it much better than your your painted westin. But since you already have got that, then I would probably stick with the same theme. Maybe my dislike for it is strictly for the westin safari bar and not necessarily the paint on it. Personal preference I guess. Hope that first link helps a little.

to each their own, like i hate chrome, it just seems so played out to me, so thats why i decided to color match, it was more "off the beaten path" than chrome IMO. what bar do you prefer over the westin???

I can see where you are coming from with the abundancy of chrome around. I haven't seen much on 4runners though. I usually tend to think the same way as you about items that are "played" but in this instance I feelin the chrome. Thanks for not takin offense to my comments. I do have to say that I also like the monocolor scheme runners I have seen on here. I think I want one of each!

If you check my sig, I decided on the T&H. The one Noloc posted pics of today. I think it looks stronger and matches the contours of the 4runner better. Your Westin just seems so small and seems to cut across the bumper in a weird way. I think just lights would look better. But, obviously we have different taste, so maybe my opinion really isn't much help. I know yours was a little less expensive, which granted is a plus. On the opposite end of the price spectrum....I like the JAOS too.
 
JDM Chrome Taillight Trim Arrived

After some semi-patient waiting, I have the JDM Chrome Taillight Trim in my hands. I posted pics up in my thread: HERE.
