Looking good! What brackets are you using for your ditch lights?
 
More bored tinkering. Rock chips are starting to crack on the hood so sticking with the black highlights theme I ordered some matte black vinyl and did the hood. Looks great from 5ft, don't get too close... Very pleased with it for my first large panel vinyl wrap. The paint chips show up underneath, but the purpose is to keep the paint from stripping and rusting and that should work.

Matched up the fenders and body panels on the doors as well.

Question, just got the ditch lights to install, but wondering what switch you used? I put fog lights on my last Sequoia and it came with the switch to go in the dash like a factory switch. I thought about going that route again and just replacing with new lenses form the kit, but use the switch from the kit to wire in the ditch lights since it is wired for fogs from the factory via the headlight switch. Input?

OOOOO, now we are talking. I appreciate it. I'll look back and see how you did it. Thanks dude! I love clean installs.
 
Blacked out the bumpers and did some decal swapping on the rear.

This is outstanding!
My 05 has sun rash on the hood and top. Otherwise it's great. You have given me an approach to take. I was struggling to figure out how to make a wrap work but didn't think about doing some other things to make it make more sense. Especially since mine is the gold/brown paint color.
How did you handle the weatherstrip stuff between the wheel well flares and the body?

I just masked above the strip and painted it as well.
 
PSA for those searching in the future. I believe the air bags were shipped from the air bag manufacturer with the black vinyl cover attached. My belief is toyota then slapped a coat of paint to match the interior of whatever color code they had on the line at the time. As most everyone has experienced, this paint layer becomes sticky over the years and collects all kind of dust. I took a rag and some alcohol and cleaned off all the paint. The color stayed in the grain and it looks pretty cool in my opinion.
