Painted Rear Bumper, hood scoop grille, & LED Dome light (PICS)

Fo_SheeZy · 03-07-2008, 08:13 PM

Alright so my 4Runner was in the shop for about a week, I had it power buffed and waxed all over. The center piece of the rear bumper was flat black with water stains on it, so I had that painted to match the rest of my 4Runner. And I also had the plastic piece above that painted to match. And last I had my hood scoop grille painted silver.

First here's a full shot of how clean my 4Runner looks, I've never seen it look so good before. The paint looks brand new...

Before with the black hood scoop grille:

After with silver:

Here's what the rear end looked like before it was painted:

And after:

Last but not least, the 25-LED dome light from oznium.com which is a beast!! This thing is so damn bright... it's unreal.

That looks clean!

The polish worked out well. Check out the swirls in the before vs. the black mirror in the after.

Wow the rear bumper looks 100x better than before. And teh silver hood scoop grille makes it stand out more! Nice job!

Dude the scoop looks SOOOOOO good! and the bumper looks amazing now!

your clear lights and those chrome grill things looked better on the back tho! get rid of those red ones!

YM13 · 03-07-2008, 09:00 PM

I personally like the red...those chrome lights are too much IMO...but I don't like a lot of bling anyways i'm more of a flat gun-metal look type of guy...

4rnr4nick · 03-07-2008, 09:01 PM

im not a bling kinda guy either but if youre doing bling already throw em back on fo sheezy!

Yeah man there are no swirls at all in the paint, it looks brand new, I was amazed. I'm not sure what they used, but I can probably find out for you.

I dunno man, I really like the Red LED lights a lot better than the clear. I don't think I'll ever put them back on, or the chrome tail light guards. And the red things behind the grille are Hella Supertone Horns, they are really loud!

Nate08 · 03-07-2008, 09:22 PM

looks great!

Sloan · 03-07-2008, 09:37 PM

looks good, and i agree the LED tails look better then the clear/chrome guard combo. there isnt much left to do to your truck is there?

Fo_SheeZy · 03-07-2008, 09:39 PM

Haha man, I'm sure I can find plenty of things to do to it!

Sloan · 03-07-2008, 10:01 PM

4runnit · 03-08-2008, 05:35 PM

haha i love the new vanity plate! the runner looks great man! definitely one of my favorites on the site

pattycakes77 · 03-08-2008, 06:38 PM

I Think It Sux Dood, Go Home Ricer!

i couldn't resist! looks real nice. that definitely helped clean up that back bumper sill. just another piece you'll have to wax now!

you should totally get your hitch painted to match too

are there some black pearl emblems in your future or are you going to stick with the chrome?

fantastic! that is one gleaming black beast you have there Brian! a great example of a classy street Runna. great job.

Yeah I'm definitely going to get that hitch painted. But you know, I never thought about black pearl emblems, do you think that'd look better than the silver emblems?

no way, keep them chrome..

looks way better with the new tails.. the blue interior light is a little to much for me.. I think it would look better white, but thats my opinion..
