Some questions about my 99 4runner...

Hey, just need to ask a couple of questions that have been bugging me because I cant find many answers through searching.

1. I'm wondering if I can run duals on a 99 4runner and have the chrome tips to make it look real nice.(magna flow).(thanx for that website 4route)
2. I really want those TRD Reverse Indiglo Whiteface gauges and I'v read the threads for them but i CANT find them on the Speedhut TRD website. I went there and all they had were celica's and supra's and like some for a 88 4runner or around that year. The ones with the nice looking TRD logo on it is the ones i want with the nice glowing blue not the aqua shade. Can anyone post a link to the place where i can purchase these?
3. I have Gold emblems all the way around but i want Silver(looks better in my option) iv looked on ebay to find some but they seem to only have limited or not all the emblems i need [4runner,SR5,toyota,the toyota emblem on the back] and also is there anyway i could get the grille one silver? would i have to buy a new grille? if so where?
4. i have sitting in my room 33" 12.50 procomp mudterrians and a revtek 3" coilspacer kit that i havnt put on yet. im waiting to buy rims and a custom 4" body lift. would this be ok? a guy that lives near here has a 97 with this same stuff (i think 2.5 daystar coilspacers though) and i dont think he has had any trouble with his for the time being. why i havent put the 3" coil spacers on and the tires is because i think there will be to much rubbing so im waiting to put the 4" on before i put the tires. we tried one night for like 5 hours putting on the coilspacers but we had the wrong coilcompresser (it was one that would go inside the coil, so once we got the coil in there it was impossible to get the coil compresser out.) I read somewhere you could just pay a autoshop 30$ to put these on. is this true? if so i dunno if they would install a "revtek" coilspacer kit(someshops are weird bout that). if we did get the right coil spacer u think me and another person could install these right?

This is a little long but iv been stressing about all this stuff for the past couple of weeks so hopefully ill get some good responses and can figure some stuff out.

THANX A TON!!

here's my 4runner and the revtek pic+tires.. just so you can get a idea. (only 2wd )

hey! I'm glad to see you posting here! Took me way longer to figure it out!

As far as installing the coil spacer, I'm sure you could easily do it with a few helping hands. If you have an autozone near you, you can go, put down a deposit on the compressor, use it as long as you want, then bring it back when you're done and they'll refund your deposit. It's their tool-loan program, and it's pretty convenient if you have one near you. As I understand, the lift would be pretty simple ... if you have the right compressor, then I have every faith that you'd be able to do the install without having to pay an autoshop $30 (not to mention having to shop around for a shop that would do that) ...

IMO a 4" BL is way too high, but that depends on how you are going to use your rig I guess. I think it will be very tippy, be careful.

I'm sure you could clear the 33's with just the revtek and a 1" BL (or 2" at most).

Examples:
  • I run 33's with 2.5" of lift and a 1" BL.
  • schaeffer3 run's 35's with 2.5" of lift and a 1" BL.

the gauges were under model development but speedhut appears to have removed any mention of them. Guess you'll have to call them.. I wish those indiglo's would fit my 98
