Default New job = New goodies *Pics 56k beware*

So I just started a new job last week [9/28] after being laid off last year, so finally I am able to start adding stuff to my car again. Got a few small things.

Dr. Isotope Wind Splitter
TRD Cold Air Intake
OEM Mudguards
WeatherTech Wind Deflectors

Here are some pictures, I love the sound the intake adds and I love the look of the wind splitter. Just took a few quickies, maybe more this weekend after I wash/wax/claybar...etc.













So I'm not sure where my next stop will be, I was originally thinking Supercharger, but seeing as it has been discontinued it isn't worth the time/money, I am most likely going to save to try and get a turbo kit from Ptuning or Dezod sometime early next year, maybe go with a CF Hood/Hatch soon. Suggestions would be appreciated.

Looks great man. I love the cold air TRD is real nice. I can't tell from the pictures but it looks like you need an exhaust to compliment that CAI. How do you like the splitter? I want a front lip but I'll be way to low I would rip it right off. Is it possible to shorten the length the splitter sticks out of the front bumper?

I'm sure it could be, Doc I makes them so he might be able to make it a bit shorter.

I currently have a TRD Exhaust (I know it isn't as good as others, but I like it and got it when I purchased the car) and I love the splitter, love the look it adds to the car.

Looks really nice! I just started a 2nd job myself haha. How awesome are those wearthertech's though? I LOVE mine. I'm also looking into getting that splitter. I think it looks aggressive and actually serves a purpose.

Thats why I got it

I love them though, flows really well with the body lines and I like the function of them, keeps the wind out of your face when on the freeway.

Yeah they are OEM, but the overlays are by Headlight Armor.

I don't have any current night ones, I was planning on going out this weekend and taking some though.

More pics, some pics of the fogs on with my hids (4300K). Also got my Doctor Isotope stickers today

Love to represent greatly manufactured products!

On a side note, what companys do good carbon fiber hoods/hatches? I know of VIS, but any others (I plan to search too, but if someone posts here, no harm done.)

Yeah, you can tell the difference from behind the wheel. They project a decent amount of yellow (and you can tell from the difference of the blueish of the HIDs) but I think yellow bulbs will provide a stronger yellow.
