The paint is called "Nite Shades" find some 2000 to 2004 Super crew stock tail lights and paint them, you get a near black finish and the cops usually don't give you crap. Order the paint off Ebay or check local shops. It's made by VHT. rub the light down with rubbing alcohol first, let dry completely, then 3 light coats and a couple coats of clear and your set. (I hightly suggest 'Killer Can's' clear coat (Alsa, it is paint shop quality clear in a can, but also $30 a can, but of so worth it)
The 10 will fit providing it's not more than 7.5 inches deep, unless your looking at losing seat space.
Tires: Hankook Ventus (good daily driver tire, not a good track tire) about $185 a piece mounted and balanced from Discount Tire, Toyo is another decently cheap tire, again not a great track tire. Usually about $150 more for 4 than the Hankooks. Nitto 555's are ok if you want to drop about a grand for 4, sometimes they go on sale.
