you need to figure out a way to smoke the clear parts of the lights .. the orgiinal OEM lights were red, and matched the other lights back there. If you black it out, then see if you can some how smoke those as well. Otherwise the design of the lights definitely looks good with yourtruck

Very nice! They fit your truck very well but I also think you should smoke the clear parts a little and maybe use mirrored/chrome bulbs too for it to totally be at home on your runner.

Damn your styling totally reshaped the looks factor on that thing.. I always thought the back of a 4th gen is yuck! but damn thats a total facelift..
looks we got ourselves a NIP tuck!.

What's with taking out the license plates out of pics? Someone is going to run the plates, find where its registered and steal the altezzas out of your secret hidden driveway? Btw, looks about as tough as a Nissan Murano with those gaudy wheels and fart can exhaust, hate it when nobody can be honest.

Although Chris has taken a different path on his 4runner, I still think it's one sweet 4runner He was one of the first to go in that direction and I must complement him on his sweet taste on keeping it clean! I gotta say the JDM lights makes it that muc better!
Keep up the good work my friend

I think the tails and de-badging are appropriate and complimenntary for a "sporty" late model SUV like a 4th gen, but the Westin "bumper step" is pointless anyway you look at it...
As far as the old saying, "If you ain't got nothin' nice to say..."
I got a newer one for ya, "If you can't handle a little constructive criticism..."
I applaud him for saying what he really thought.
Anyway the truck does look really good, I would go for some 18" three piece (non-chrome) rims with medium profile aggressive tread tires and no "westin type" accessories if it were mine, but it' yours and all-in-all it looks pretty sweet.
