yeah bro, I plan on it. Where can I get some??

The front mask clear bra is on Ebay.

The fender flares (as far as I know) don't exist precut, that's custom. I'm lined up to repaint my flares at the end of the month. I'm ordering bulk 3M clearbra material to cover the flares after the repaint. I can give you the templates when I'm done.

Same color or not thats pretty dumb to not take all that stuff off the truck. For example when you take the grill and stuff off you'll see the line where the new paint/clear is next to the old paint. I'm mean come on its not that hard to take it all off. I see it as them just being lazy.

c'mon bro, don't rain on the man's parade. except for the stripes, he's getting new RR on top of old RR...noboby's gonna notice except him :top:

I saw a taco at the dealership with the clearbra stuff on the fender flares, when i asked about it they said they have seen it on alot of the tacos, but when I got my X I didnt have any of that on it:dontknow:

How much does it cost? Is there any sortof write-up on it, I get how to do it just wanna see the process in pictures

U can find them on EBAY. But like BC said, they don't make the ones for the flares. We have to custom make those. My buddy has some of them on his Inf.

I think some of the PreRunner / TRD Sport and other 4x4 / 4x2 models may have the factory-installed flare clear-bra stuff on them. But I think we (X's) have different flares than they do.

Like I said, I'm gonna cut up some templates for some custom flare guards and fender panel guards at the end of the month. I'd be happy to do a write up then... :top:

Won't be cheap... depending on how much of your body sides you want protected, it could run you from $40-$180 for the bulk material. And that's just for the bodysides.

We can talk about this more later, I first have to make sure I can actually pull this off before I offer it to anyone else... :biggrin: I just got some bulk material and just got done cutting templates for my MS3, if that goes well, then I'll try the X.

Here are some updated photos. Stripes go on today. Ill try to get some pics of it after their done this evening. The bedcover is getting painted. The base coat will not be completely smooth because it has indentions thru the entire cover. (what I get for buying a cheap bed cover). They sanded it smooth as they can, but if they do any more, it could mess up the cover. It should still come out good. It will have the stripes as well.

Here are the pics from today:

no bro, they had just moved it out of the bay. It was in the booth drying last night. They will move it back in to do the stripes and it will stay inside over night. Trust me.....I make a few passes by the shop a day...cause Im crazy like that.....:top:
