thanks man, appreciate it

Washed! Notice the mud on the ground. That's STILL coming off from last month haha. This pic reminds me how I need to paint the front bumper valance. And a little late, but about 2 weeks ago I put in my guage LED's. Hotspots somewhat noticeable, but not bad enough to bother me...And I'm sort of a perfectionist.

THe LED's turned out great. .

Thanks! I'm happy with them. Still gotta do the hvac bulbs too, once i put in a new stereo.

Getting kind of tired of the "blacked out" theme. I wanna throw in some more colors. I have a couple stickers that I'll put on, but I feel like that wont be enough.

Thinking of painting my wheels white this summer. If I do, I will have to clear coat the $hit out of them to make sure they are able to be cleaned after goin in mud/dirt. Any opinions or comments ?

Maybe some ideas to throw some more color on the truck?

Here's a pic of what white wheels might look like:

EDIT*

I like white. Will give it an old school feel.

ok here's a crappy ps job I did to see what the wheels would look like white.

I think Im gonna go for it!

Tired of the blacked out look and soo many ppl's cars/trucks are blacked out. I want mine to be a little more custom to me.
Thoughts/opinions?

i think white would be cool but i'd keep the bolt heads on the spokes black as well as the lug nuts and center cap to give it a nice contrast.

i'm picturing something like this:

That looks awesome thanks. Yea definitely will have to give it some contrast.

I know I ask a lot of opinions, but I just came across a cool set of wheels, and Iv'e had my TRD wheels for so long Ive just grown kinda tired of them and want a change.

Hmmmm buy these for $250 and sell my TRD Ivan Stewart rims? Thinking about buying em.......No money right now, so Id have to borrow from my college money..

What do you guys think? Do my TRD wheels that I have now look better than these LC wheels and Im crazy? Or should I get these and sell my TRD wheels?

Keep the Ivan Stewarts. I'm not a fan of the LC's, they look really bland. However, spicing them up by painting them white might be ok....

PNWRunner · May 19, 2012

I used to want a set of LC wheels pretty bad, but I like yours better. Leave it

Update: 5/31/12

Installed my 6000k HIDS
Very happy with them, and have yet to be flashed. But I just love getting flashed

I traded my Satoshi grille that I made for a 2002 chrome grille. I painted it black and the logo dark red. I took extra time sanding the grille in between coats, and it came out as smooth as glass. (I only had black and bright red paint, so I first painted the logo red, then lightly misted the black paint over the red logo to make it a darker. Turned out pretty cool)
