Thanks man! I love the look of these spoilers on 4runners. You should appreciate this, the brake light on the spoiler is a row of LEDS. I might have to look into new tails now. Great, more money!

Real nice looking.

You DO realize that painting your rear bumper semi-gloss/satin black would look awesome right? For me, the first thing that sticks out is the chrome compared to the darker color of the truck. Its very easy to do and should only take you a day to complete.

Just paint and install to rear door with metal clips, which is actually very sturdy. very easy install

I agree, i'm already planning on painting it or replacing with a black one. The chrome does not look good nor match...just gotta make some xtra time to do this. thanks for the input

Ok, thanks. Couple more questions...

Does it rattle when you shut the tail gate? Also, I take it that it holds up to hwy speeds fine w/o moving? And finally, how is the led brake light wired? Did you just tap the wiring into the stock 3rd brake light?

prish

I have not noticed any rattling or moving at all, more sturdy than i thought. Just pricey though! The wiring is basic stuff, no problems there. I plan on installing some rubber grommets to run the wire through.

Cool, thanks.

Yeah, right now, the price is what's keeping me from getting one

Looks sharp though.

Keep an eye out on E-Bay I picked up a hood with the scoop brand new from a Toyota dealership for 90 bucks!!!!
Just went down to pick it up to save on the shipping and as far as the rear spoiler goes if it snows where you are make sure to clear the snow off or it WILL bend the spoiler or should I say the brackets down not a major problem just annoying ;-)

Man that is a great score for $90.00, but i searched around for a while to find a used one and had no luck. Thanks for the heads up on snow piling up on spoiler, this isn't going to be a problem for me unless i spend several days in tahoe during the winter.
