Default New Truck Pics

Just bought a 2010 Tundra Crewmax (well back in May), but here are some pics.

Few questions for everyone..would love to get some opinions on some stuff.

Should I de-badge?

What k HIDS should I get?

Best exhaust? Flowmaster, Corsa, etc?

K&N Intake, TRD Intake, AFE, etc?

Nice truck, search for exhaust, as well as everything else you're asking. Everybody has an opinion.

Here's one opinion...

Debadge all except the 5.7L badge on the front quarterpanel.

Borla Dual side exits.

K&N Intake.

Sway Bar.

Paint the door handles.

Is it a 4x2? I noticed you don't have the 4x4 badge on the tailgate.

Congreads !!! It looks great !!!

What's the sway bar for anyways and do I really need it?

I'd love to paint the door handles, just not sure how much it would cost. I would also love to get the chrome bumpers painted to match the truck.

Would really love to get a billet grill or the Limited grill put on, but they are kinda pricey.

I think I will debadge the truck this week sometime. If I do, i'll post pics.

Thanks for the comments!

Here's what Sparks posted on their web site for the SWAY BAR..... "Engineered by TRD to enhance the Tundra’s handling characteristics, the rear sway bar provides a flatter, more stable cornering stance. Manufactured from high-quality spring steel for increased stiffness and durability, the sway bar features a gloss red powder coat finish that resists corrosion and protects against road damage, while providing a striking visual enhancement to the vehicle. "

Rear Sway Bar AVAILABLE at Sparks Toyota-Scion, Myrtle Beach, SC

Chrome door handles...

They used to have color coded door handles, but I couldn't find them with a quick scan...

Here's a cost reference for a color-coded front sport grille... Sport Grille Assembly - Super White 040 at Sparks Toyota-Scion, Myrtle Beach, SC

Enjoy and good luck !!!!

***Id say go with the AFE intake, sounds sweet too.
My service guy (who i know personally) at the Toyota dealer told me to not get the K&N because the oil from the K&N filter could mess with the mass airflow sensor and case problems down the road. He also said the K&N doesnt filters as good as others out there. And if you look closely at the stats, lot of other after market intakes will out preform K&N and the TRD at a lot lower cost.

***For the exhaust, i just went with the JBA, no complaints.

I wish there was some pics of the grill and door handles on the Sparks Toyota website that way I could see what the grill looks like.

I plan on debadging sometime this week and possibly painting some of the emblems a gloss black (should I go flat black) and temporally placing one side back on just to see what it looks like.

I also read on another post how to paint your dash black. My interior is black, but should I go with flat or gloss on the inside?
