tow hooks (front and rear), some red on the winch rope, and I was going to switch out the TRD decals to red ones .. since silver won't go anymore with the new rear bumper. The Sway away coilovers. The 4ROC sticker I want on my front windshield. The E/air compressor. The tip on the antena. .......

The enamel ones are not really that brite as they appear in the pic. I think the flash gave it some extra sparkle. Nevertheless I liked the color better before the enamel

Yeah webshots is actig funny today .. I know I'm doing it right, but it keeps saying your not the owner .. to anyone else that tries to view it. and I know I'm in the community webshots.

someone want to host the other pic for me as well. I should have pics mounted on the truck in about an hour too

Whoa, is the flash making the "glossy" look even more so?

You guys are so bad for me, I've been looking at my star pattern rims for a while now...

ok I've mounted them .. I sent the pics to Mark .. they should be up soon. Itl ooks so much better when the gloss has gone down some. The ones in the upcoming pic were done late last night/Early this morning so the gloss has had time to become less glossy.

Whoever does this in the future (I hope I'm not the only ass) needs to find a way to keep the original paint on there without this stupid enamel coat. B/c then it will look 10 times better.

Seeing them on your rig really makes it look good. Solid work. Now to take care of that chrome rear bumper...
