Do you by chance have any close up pics of the wheel skins and handle overlays? I was looking at getting some and was wondering if the wheel skins showed the outer edge of the wheel and if the overlays covered the whole door handle.

Appreciate you taking those pics, they don’t look bad at all, I’ll probably go ahead and pic some up for now until I can decide which way I want to go on wheels.

So, out of curiosity has anyone tried to tint their emblems using Night Shade? I used it to tint my halogen tails so i didn't hate them quite so much. Just wondering if it would work on the Chrome...

I am not sure how easy it is to take off the nightshade but the plastidip is very easy to remove if you need.

There isn't a snowballs chance in hell i want to take it off! i absolutely hate chrome, the only reason I didn't wait for a different truck (night package) was because it was a really good deal on a demo truck.

 

[brawler1588]

Well for that I get but you can over spray and get in the paint and it just peels right off an stays on the badge.

Yeah, i had a 2012 Tundra that I debadged and plasti-dipped. I was just seeing if using night shade would retain the chrome shine but darken it up.

I havent even ordered mine yet and this is one of the first mods I want to do. Love the truck but want everything that’s chrome to be gone. Would order the night package was I want a truck that isn’t all black and I want the off-road package. Can’t get both.

I like the night package but only on a black truck. The fact that if it's a white truck they don't color match the brow really bothers me. Other than that it looks good. I got such a deal on mine because it was a demo truck that i've just been adding the things that i would have ordered it with, like the LED headlights... MAKE SURE YOU GET THE LED PACKAGE

I’m looking at Patriot blue but would accept the delmonico red. My Riverside Blue X6 has all chrome pieces blacked out and it looks great!
