Looks great. What did you use to paint the wings and grill?

I used a Krylon type of flat black. But, I am in the process of using a Plastickote paint on everything. Plactickote has a rubberized texture that I used on the side mirrors and the door handles. It seems to be holding up against rocks, bird poop and bug guts.

How does the black vinyl on the door seal offer better night time visibility?

It's reflective!!!

I love the blacked out center caps, how'd you do that and keep the Toyota emblem silver??

I love the way sandstorms look when they are blacked out. I think they look better than the trail teams.

You take off the center caps and on the inside there are 2 tabs that hold the emblems on. Push both tabs in and the emblems should come loose. (Note: I used the plastic handles on my wire cutters to push the tabs without marking them up.) I used 220 grit sand paper to sand the caps down and shot 4 coats of Krylon's finest flat black. After drying, I popped the emblems back in and installed the freshly painted center caps.

I like the "No Step" too.

So I take it you didn't get any overspray on the truck?
