Borrowed the pic from mub member Anthony. My truck would look like this with the rims blacked out... isnt that a bit much? My bumpers and trims are also the same color as the body....

Looks great!
I chickened out and had mine powder coated OEM color. But, I've got them wrapped with brand new 33" BFG AT's, so there's that.

Yeah that's on the list....in about 50k miles, when i get a new daily driver.
Until then, only sliders and tires.
what if you get rear ended by a suburban and pushed into two more cars in front of you? Snotts got rear ended at 35mph and it didnt even bend his stuff, just "adjusted" his spare location.
What size is lift/tires on this pic? Thanks, MikeBorrowed the pic from mub member Anthony. My truck would look like this with the rims blacked out... isnt that a bit much? My bumpers and trims are also the same color as the body....
If you just want to try it out, pick up a product called plasti dip in aerosol form. It's a rubberized spray paint. Clean your wheels, spray it on. And if you don't like it it peels right off. Lots of you tubes about it... I did mine with that method two years ago and they still look great, never did get around to powder coating them.
And sorry if someone already mentioned this, I didn't read the whole thread.

I read that one member had problems with them fogging up so I siliconed them everywhere I thought water could enter.
It hasn't rained here in months so I don't know yet if it worked.
Light output is way better then my original lights

I did that 5 years ago to the tail lights on my LX. I used matte trim black paint. Just masked off the lamps and did a couple light coats on the surrounding areas. TheFuzz did the same on his but used gloss black. Again we just taped the lamps off and sprayed a couple light coats. Not tough, but it's all about the prep work if you want it to look good. Below is a picture from back when I did them, they look the same today.
That looks great! I am a newbie at doing stuff to my cruiser. Can you give me more steps; such as brand of paint, where you bought it, did you have to scuff those edges and any other prep work? Just regular blue masking tape? I have a 2001 LC, so I have more masking to do.
I searched for "tail light paint" on how to paint them but came up blank. Sorry if there is a thread out there and I did not see it.

You have skills! I don't so i have to pay someone. I'm still talkin myself into having my wheels powder coated. Wife thinks I'll never get the $300 back in 3 years when I sell my rig and get a 200 or a new GX.

Get your $300 back? Probably not, but if you start sticking your finger into the change slots at vending machines for next 3 years you can hand her a $300 sack of loose change when you sell the truck.
