For all of you who hated on my Nightshaded Corners.
1 Attachment(s)
I hated the look of the amber corners so I nightshaded them to make them look black instead, it was my first nightshade attempt and admittedly didn't turn out very well, too dark and splotchy because it ran and I tried to fix it rather than sanding it all off and starting from scratch. Every time I threw up a few pictures half the replies were telling me to ditch them for some clear or 06+ corners, I agreed but just now got around to it so here u go!
Attachment 131274 I am thinking about doing the black headlamp/corner mod.. what do you think, leave it like it is or go black? |
Truck looks awesome man
|
that looks much nicer, leave them like that IMO. truck looks awsome BTW!
|
looks really good this way
|
I say black them out. You have your rears niteshaded, right? Gotta keep up a consistent theme. Can't have clear fronts and blacked out backs.

Thanks for the compliments guys, the truck is slowly coming along. I need some wheel spacers and tint, they are next on my list. I have some 2" spacers for the back, going to get some 1.5"s for the front. I want to get a superlift and 33's next year but am also planning on buying a house so that may or may not happen. |
Looks better, now paint the lip on top of the corners black.

Not a fan of how they look at night, amber bulbs in the clear lens = allot of amber light glowing from the front of the truck, gonna have to do something about that.
|
Dont black them out. Be different than everyone else..
|
looks good plus its nice to see a standard cab again.
|
now go get some 06 tails!
|
Now the clears look MUCH better!! LOL
As for the amber light problem, just pick up some chrome coated bulbs off eBay. I got those in my corners and in the signal harness. They look chrome (so you don't see them) but burn amber. I find the ones in my corners aren't as bright as the stockers, so I don't have that problem. **BTW, just though I'd add on the Good Year Territories.........I've had mine for 3 weeks now and I love them. I've been through a few muddy places that I probably shouldn't have being just a 2wd, and those meaty bastards just pulled me through....or I should say "pushed" me through. They are great in heavy rain and flooded roads. |
i say leave them clear they look good.....im a huge fan of the reg cab fx4 this is the only one ive seen
|
leave them alone, get new tails

They are great in heavy rain and flooded roads. Glad to see you are happy with your territories! I am really impressed with mine, took my first highway trip with them the weekend and was super impressed with how well they handled at speed. The highway between here and Calgary is super flat and straight, I was doing 150-160 and could take my hands off the wheel and would keep dead straight, plus weren't even that loud at high speed, they are louder from 60-100 kph. For a tire with such an agressive tread i am really happy with how good of an all around tire they are! |
I dont really want to get rid of my tails, I like them more than the new ones, they look too simple. Plus I am going with the black trim theme I am going to eventually start getting rid of all the shiny stuff and paint it or replace it with black stuff, such as rims, grille, bumpers, The only thing I want to be chrome is my exhaust tips!
|
Wow!!! Very nice!!! Love the alcoas on there! Just buy the black headlights on eBay. $100 then sell your stockers. Way easier!
|
^^ Thanks Ben, I was excited when I saw you bought a torredor fx4, i loved your old truck and couldn't wait to see what you did with the new one! Looks great so far! It makes me want to go bigger, i think a superlift and 33's are getting bumped up on the to-do list!

Love the new corners. Just did the same mod myself.
Attachment 130951 It really cleans up the front end of your truck (and I love the look of the tires!). I'll be watching your truck to see which way you go... |
^^ looks good! I love those lights behind the grille! I'm thinking about doing the same thing. and thanks! I have a picture in my mind of what its going to look like, just going to take a little time, and alot of $$$ haha
|
looks much better, get some LED replacement bulbs for in there, i got some for mine looks way better and doesn't have an over powering amber glare.
|
I have some chrome ones ordered but I think i may be taking the LED route instead! LED amber is a much nicer color as well.
I am going out now to scout a spot for the photo contest so I will get some good pics and throw them up when i get back. I have a cough and my boss told me to stay home because everybody is terrified of the swine flu! haha so i gotta do something to feel half productive today! |
superbrightleds.com has everything you can ever need haha although i did white leds, looks much better imo, but ive never seen the amber leds...
