Its begun, the transformation of the FJ. Anything silver is getting blacked out. I started with the grill surround tonight, it should be installed tomorrow after work. Then on to the front bumper wings.

If you replace your headlights w/ hella black magics, you will have a totaly black front!

Next up, bumper wings, the bottom silver piece and maybe the turn signals tinted a bit...
-
That looks great, Scott. I imagine the finished product will look even better. :)

*just sighs*
$32K truck and he goes and spray paints it.
:P ;D :-* You know I love you baby, but man sometimes .....LMAO! :-*
-
I think it will look less fruity when he gets done blacking out that stupid plastic trim
-
looking nice :D
-
i think you should just get a new winch bumper and def get the PIAA lights!!!
-

-
long grain wild rice.

I have studied pics of vehicles without the front clip on to see the mounting points and such, it wouldn't be too hard to build one but I don't have the equipment here, mainly a large metal shear for cutting the pieces of plate crisply.
I could however make a cardboard template and then try to make it that way...*waves to JD* LOL...

Part 2: Bumper wings
Before

Without. Looks cool except for those stupid indents where the wings go...

I'll post up another pic with the newly painted ones when they are finished...
-
it looks cool.
just fill the spots with bondo and paint them.

get rid of thoes 'wings.' they only detract from approach angle

Yeah, the only things that need wings are those silly flying things, birds, and some fem. products ;)
-
I agree it looks less silly without the wings
-
looks more stream lined.
i would just cut out the edges and weld in some steel plate. then, cut off the front part and weld another steel plate across. then add some shackel points. and then i guess bolt on a winch and some off road lights.
but for better clearance, you'd need a few vertical inches and sturdier tires. 35X13.50's would do.
it's a gradual process. we all understand.
-
Looks great!!
-
Gotta love Krylon
-
And the front is finished!

Next up? The rear. Which is a >:(PITA because the whole rear bumper cover must come off to get the side silver panels off. Might end up driving around for a couple days without a rear bumper if I can deal with it :-\

You need to find some way to put a hitch up your ass anyway :-*

it looks good!!!!!! 8)

Looks nice! why don't you just mask off the rear? ride a bike to work for a day while it dries
-
I thought about that and others who have went all black have done it but I'm just too damn concerned about overspray. Besides, I just need to do it right and masking everything wouldn't give me that piece of mind that I did it right...Better overall product too...
-
What about the mirrors? ;D
-
Very nice, Scott!
-
What about the mirrors? ;D
Mirrors and door handles coming soon. They require a full day to remove them and get them painted and put back in so I'm waiting until I can commit a full day to do so.
I also want to do the wheels black....
Ultimately, this is the look I'm going for with the exception of my roof and white graphics:
