Looks really clean and even though it's subtle, it really ads to the look!
I like it a lot!

never really was a fan of that sort of thing, but it looks nice on your truck. i think its the fact that your trucks clean and shiny, plus its black too! like shaw said, subtle, but definitely adds to it

Any modification to fit those lights? I do like those a lot.

Next on the list? Lift it and stick some big ol mudders on it!!

Nah it looks sweet, nice piece of work there. What kind of camera you have?

How black are those? Every pic I see of them, they aren't as black as I would want them. Or is that because they are behind glass and that fades them a bit when you take a pic of them?

Don't get me wrong, I like them on your truck. It looks really good! I'm still trying to figure out how you drive that and keep it clean!!! Last weekend I spent hours on mine giving it the first polish and wax job of the year.. By the time I got done there was already a thin layer of dust on it....

No modification needed, just takes a while to put them on. You know I am really wanting to put some all black 20"s w/ 33's on my Runner, actually it's these rims right here:
I've got a cannon digital camera, I'm not sure what the exact name/type it is.

Yeah man I might take them off, if I do I'll let you know.

Yeah they are really black, it was hard to take a good pic because of the glare on the glass. You'd have to see them in person, but yeah man it's so hard to keep it clean, the pollen is so bad. 10 minutes after I wash it my car is usually covered in it..

Looks great, as always!

Next step... black out your clear corners so you can get rid of the orange reflector. That orange stands out too much, in a bad way. Love your 'Runner by the way!

Yeah I forgot to ask for opinions from everybody about that, orange or clear? What looks better, I haven't decided yet, but of course, I'm leaning towards clear.

Definitely go with the clear!
It will make them look a LOT cleaner.

Looks great man, And just think I have an excuse to get some since one of mine has large rock chips in it. I'll wait till after my lift though.. That's my priority right now. Plus, that will give the Borough time to clean the streets of all the winter rock they laid down...

They were all made with clear corners at first, but then the DOT outlawed clear corners in all 50 states.. so no more clear corners...

Yeah it's a stupid law that police officers won't even enforce or most of them want even know about it.

so very true, it looks like i'll have to put this on the end of my mod list. after i get some black rims and black pearl out my emblems and grille those headlights would look pretty sweet.

if i was you though i would leave your grille alone and not paint it like someone said earlier. i think the chrome grille makes the black headlights on your black vehicle look even better
