Default Did my first photoshoot of the box today. lots o pics

I've had the box for about a year now. I got an extremely good deal on it and that's why we bought the thing and i told myself I wasn't going to do anything to it. Not gonna trick it out or anything just use for a great gas mileage commuter car. Well it started with my ever lasting love for making custom LED lighting for vehicles, more specifically tail lights, 3rd brakelights, and license plate lights. then i had to put a small sound system in the car along with a new exhaust tip and now the day before yesterday.... i installed some wheels and lowered it. i dont know what happened to my original plan. the stupid box is addicting i swear. I have now promised myself the only thing more im going to do to it is painting the front grill black, debadging the scion emblems, and clearing the corners in the front turn signals. oh and retrofit my right sidemarker turn signal with LEDs like i did the left side since the prototype has held up well for over 2 months now.

Well enough with my story, here is my first photoshoot.





























Now my grocery getter is a little more fun to drive

Hope you guys like the pictures. I know it's nothing fancy like some of the heavily modded box's on this site but oh well i like it better now :-)

It looks great, dude.

You should throw a BSP grille on there. That would really set it off.
Also, what are you using in the license plate lights? I have incandescent superwhites... it's the same color, but yours look really bright.

can you please find me a BSP grill!? i need one really bad as you can see from the pics. im thinking about just painting mine black but am worried about the outcome if DIY since im no painter.

My license plate lights are a series of 3 3-chip white LEDs on either side. they look awesome too. they are still in their "test phase" with me though but are holding up well to weather.

I just installed the springs, Tein S-Techs day before yesterday along with the wheels. i was told they will take 2 weeks to settle to the actual ride height.

If anyone knows where i can come across a BSP grill for inexpensive (not a new toyota part i mean) please let me know, i would be greatly appreciative.

In some lights it looks like it's really dark, like 5%... but there are a couple shots that make it look like 20%...
