    I have a '22 TRD Sport, not a lot of chrome, but interested in converting it to a nightshade myself, if anyone has any suggestions, warnings, etc?

    Powder coat your wheels
    Get the white trim wrapped in black vinyl wrap for vehicles
    The nightshade has "black chrome" which i absolutely DO NOT recommend trying to replicate, the water spots on it are terrible. I had one with the nightshade package and the black chrome water spotted worse than anything i have ever seen. I bought all paintable stuff and had it painted gloss black and then the wife hit a deer and wrecked it. Was searching for another when the TRD Sport was released and really like the white and LOVE that its in super white and not pearl anymore.

    There's a vehicle wrap company next town over, can they cut the parts, or buy them pre-cut? I like the black rims.

    depends on whether they have done a 4R
    some folks have plotters that will cut the stencil out and then they overlay the wrap and trim on the vehicle
    some folks measure and cut out on a big piece of glass and then fit and trim on the vehicle
    i dont know what those guys will do, i would look into their work prior to giving them the go-ahead and make sure they are reputable and do good work, the next town over from me has a pretty big outfit doing clear wraps and i have seen them peeling up around corners in 6 months because the edges werent shrunk good enough.

    They are stock wheels just like yours, i had powder coated. My 4R is practically identical to yours other than a small lift, black wheels, and better tires. Otherwise you basically got what i got. Its the small touches that make one stand apart from the others. You do whatever you like and build it how you want.

    holy crap dude
    you are an hour away from a chick that does killer work
    Look her up on IG
    East Coast Ceramics
    Marissa Amidio
    She does killer work. I dont even know if she does colored wraps, she used to only do details paint correction and ceramics and then in the last two years everyone has gone to clear wraps and she followed. The caliber of work i see from her is killer.
