Default New Smokes & a Bra from Aero Tect

I went up to Aero Tect today, and got some work done. Both Francisco and Jason did a great job. I'm really happy with the overall results. The smoke overlay is a little darker than my dark chrome tails, but I think it looks a lot better than before. Thank you!

Smoked
  • Headlights
  • Fogs
  • Side markers

Aero Shield clear bra
  • Bumper
  • TRD Lip (Rep)
  • Sections of my sides and rear that are in the wheel well
  • Behind the door handles

Pictures





Before


After


Clear bra for the bumper




Custom cut for the lip


Done

Peter, for everything mentioned, it was $490. A shop in Escondido quoted $260 for the front lip alone! I live 85mi away, and it was worth the drive.

Here's a better outside shot of the lights.
