getting rid of the limited look?
I am in the market for a 4runner and I have come across a 98 limited. its a nice truck that some lady owned and its been sitting up there for a while I think I could get it for 9 or less and it has right at 100,xxx miles on it. I would prefer to find an 5spd but I think I could live with the auto. it even has the dif lock and thats a big plus. The only thing I am not thrilled with is the nasty extra plastic they stuck on the bottoms of the body. is that going to leave mount holes if I take it off and is it sealed pretty good from the factory or will dirt getting inside most likely have destroyed the paint?
What option do I have for getting rid of the gold trim?

I have a 97 Limited 4runner, The gold trim?? Meaning the badges?? you could just remove them, or as deathrunner said paint them,
~Remove the runner boards
~Paint over the woodgrain trim if it has
~Plastic Cladding helps alot, Protects the bottoms of the doors
~E-locker is a great option to have
~Only draw back is getting used to drive'n an Auto
You can see in this pic the rock rashes on both doors, IMO better then sheet metal

I also love the look of limited trim but only with 33" tires really. When you look at a stock limited from the front or back the tires just look tiny for some reason.
But with my limited, I'm dealing with it until I get the 33"'s because the cladding and bigger flares will really help with kicking up rocks, and they just look pretty good with bigger tires.

I like Andy's old rig (which I guess belongs to another lucky forum member now) with the painted flares. I also like those on that '97 but on my truck, I have the sunfire red with the silver looking flares. I think they are too bright. I mean I don't dislike them but I think it'd be cooler if they were either painted to match the body or completely gone.
