Just spray her with 50 coats of clear coat <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
Should be able to buff any scratches out for the next 10 years then.

Who sprayed the color? Is it laquer paint, or 2 stage. Fantastic job!

Yeah, and the kicker is, I could have gone with your glass quarter panels because one needed replacing!
The deal killer for me was no additional clearance for tires. The width was good... but I had to trim the corners in the stock rear just to clear 35s!! The fronts have a boatload of clearance. I am quite sure yours fit better though.
And to top it off I have to go with Bushwackers in the rear. I don't care for the mounting (rivets? Ick.). And I found out when I opened the box that they extend down covering the stock bumperettes. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> Of which I have none. Time to PM Moomba.
So it's off to the Home Depot for some plumbing cement and I have to mod them before Terry can spray them. I don't think Terry wants to touch them. They have to be mounted before modded, which complicates the process.
I really really hate to start drilling perfectly fine rear fenders and very nice paint... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />
It's a two part clearcoat paint that is sanded, then machine and hand polished. They do killer work. I do hope the clearcoat is thick... but that's the good thing about clearcoat for minor scratches and God's pinstriping.

I'm waiting for the 89-95 stuff. Why doesn't anyone make a decent set of cutout rear fender flares for the 2nd gen 4Runner? All the styles out there do not cover agressive tires well so most people give up and just go without them.
