    Online it says "without body color"

    Thanks!

    They come black, no reason to have them color matched, you only see 1/4 inch of it.

    Are those OEM Caliper Covers or aftermarket?

    Saw the OEM Red Caliper covers on the latest 2023 TRD Pro Demo. Trying to get OEM part numbers

    I actually removed the front and rear calipers and had a paint shop paid them, I had them put on Trd decals before they did the clearcoat.

    IMG_6063.jpg Wanted to improve the stance just slightly and give my UCA's just a little more room to breath...Took it off road over the holiday weekend and had some very minor rubbing on the UCA's at full lock in reverse while suspension was articulated so I added some 1/4 hub centric wheel spacers. Came out perfect! This is how they should come stock!

    Do you have a similar photo to this that shows the detail of the rear end of the rocker panel?

    Yup, like that, thanks! I was curious, as I had read that some had issues with finding a finish trim piece for that area...or was it the front?? Anyway, thanks for the photos.

    Really nice job converting your Limited. Had I known anything about 4Rs prior to my purchase, I probably would have gone the Limited route with a similar appearance conversion.

    ps - I think your Limited wheels with the lift look great. You don't really want to look like every other 4R out there, do you? :p

    I agree, I like the limited wheels with the larger tires. I wanted to keep it as much OEM As possible, But make it look a little tougher but clean. As far as the trim, I went to my local Toyota and ordered the front and ends and trim and didn't have any issues.

    I dig this build a lot. As I'm reading though the "I'm done" on 12/1 and "my next mod" on 12/27 made me lol

    I havent come across any 1/4 ones that have a lip. I believe becuase its the thinnest you can buy. These rest on the hub perfectly and there was still about 1/2 of hub sticking out that the rim rested on when I was re-installing the tire. I've also taken it up to 90 mph on the freeway to see if there would be any shaking or steering wheel movement and there was nothing. They are pricey, about $200 for 4 spacers, but they are perfect fits.

    These boras are pretty expensive but I found these hub centric but again they are .375 inches

    Bora is a solid brand for sure. I believe they can custom make a 1/4 spacer as well.
