Black 2 Basicks (pics)

Aloha fellow Tundrans, I finally completed my little project with my black limited CM. Basically, I just replaced everything that was chrome and had it color keyed. Some parts were ordered online, while some had to be custom painted. Also had the factory wheels powder coated. I didn't want a lift, nor did I want to slam it (maybe a mild drop later on). I kinda liked the stock look and functionality of it. Nothing too crazy but it gets the job done for me. I decided not to black out the head and taillights as I thought that it's oem colors gave the overall appearance some contrast (especially with the rear sway bar). Anyways, take a look and holla back if y'all got any questions.

SXD, they're actually just black lug covers (www.colorlugs.com). I was gonna PC them too but it would've cost me an extra $100! The covers ran me only $20 shipped and they look just as good.

Radiant, I had my limited inserts painted...

I looked for pacificmotorsports.com and I don't think thats the site you're talking about. I'm gonna shoot an email to that email address see what happens. I'm interested in the tail light covers.

Nevermind, found them. Don't really like the way they look though. I'm just gonna end up getting mine smoked.

No, I aint blacking the sway bar out. I love it red as it compliments the taillights. Maybe a grill swap later on. Right now, there's nothing on the market that attracts me. Thanks for all the compliments guys!

Your truck is rediculous! I love the black on black on black on black look. I am purchasing a slate colored Limited CM today. I hate chrome though. I want to get the rear bumper, grillle surround, and mirrors color keyed. I would like the door handles, gas cap, running boards, girlle insert and exhaust black. Which of those pieces did you have painted and which did you have to purchase? Do you have prices for any of this. I am also going to powder coat the wheels. Have you had any issues with the powder coating on your wheels? How much did that cost? Sorry, I am really excited to start all of these new projects and ditch my old car. Thanks for your help!

That sh!t looks mean!!!

Black out the tails and tint the heads tho!! That would be the true nightrider...LOL I like it tho, I'm blackin out a slate one too (at least that's the plan...) I like all the black accessories and what not. I like the Sway bar stickin out down there too...How much to PC your bumpers??? I'm sick of the chrome too...esp the grill surround. Did you paint yours or did you order a color-keyed one? Thanks and good work!
