Where did you get the colored running board Raptor inlay? I’ve only seen them in silver. Thanks

I'm pretty sure he posted a while back that he'd painted them. Prowl his profile, seems like it was about a month and a half ago, maybe more.

Edit: found his post, here ya go!

. Nice! I had those same wheels (18 inch version) on my Tacoma in order to fit the Tundra rotors/calipers on it, and I loved the look. Glad to see they look just as sharp on the Raptor! Just to show you how a-retentive I am, I rotated all the center caps to line up with the embossed 'Fuel' on the radial arm!

Yep, I did paint em. One of my favorite little mods cuz as far as I know, I made up the mod but it’s here to share. Not that expensive but requires a little patience between coats of paint and then clear coat. It looks and feels as if it is painted directly on to the running board. Just need to find the paint color that either matches or accents your beast as you want.

Father in law like my ceramic coated truck that he asked I do his as well. Strip wash, CarPro Iron X, Adams claybar,Sonax Perfect Finish with Rupes yellow pad followed by CQuartz 3.0 Ceramic Coat and some Reload to finish. Also did the plastics with CarPro Dlux. Still haven't figured out how much to charge him [emoji15]

Lol,I lined up the center caps also. I struggled to find a wheel I liked that I also thought looked good on the truck. Had these on my black gen1 originally.

Looks sharp, the ceramic coating really makes the color pop!

Let me start posting in here. Gen 1 guys don't like it when you say, "I realized today that my turbo is not blown, just the CAC piping came loose" lol.

Good times.
