All the black pieces on the vehicle are starting to fade in color. Is there any way to put color back into the pieces to make the vehicle sharper or do they have to be replaced?

I also noticed that there seems to be a scratch on the rear windshield from the wiper in the back. It's not anything huge but any ideas on how much that may cost me to get replaced?

I need to get a new set of tires. Any recommendations? Thanks guys!

yeah, the black plastic starts to fade after a while... Forever Black is something that I have heard good things about, but never tried it... I think I may have to...

As for the scratch, sometimes those can be polished out using a headlight lens polish kit, or I think a glass shop could do it... Otherwise you have to have the glass replaced.

I just got a set of Toyo Open Country A/T this morning and I love them... I was going to go with the Nitto terra Grapplers, but no one had them locally...

For black trim, what works brilliantly (all the black stuff on my 91 RRC still looks brand new) is WD-40 and/or Aerospace 303 vinyl/rubber/plastic protector (avail at some autoparts stores and marine/boating stores).
