Default my JDM xA, finally!

Since ive seen everyone else post pictures of their car and ive never done that, i decided it was time to see what you think of my ride.

My front JDM grille, which arrived 4 days ago, FINALLY!! Icing on the cake.


A bit of JDM badging and soon to have a K-Style Spoiler


My WedSport TC005 in dark grey, ive wanted these ever since I had the car.


My engine as of today, many changes to come.


Clean trunk no BS!


Not the 10000 watt speaker system everyone else has, but just enough to make me happy!


If you have any questions of any of the parts i have feel free to ask, and let me know what you think if my ride so far.

The infinity system is a 10" woofer with a 10" radiator (i cant really explain how that works), but it gives one hell of a kick for being only 200watt and 10 inches. The really great part is that i also have the expansion slot, that gives 50x4 watt output for the front speakers. For the size and price $300.00 (on Ebay, used), i couldnt find a better deal and i also installed it myself so no money was spent on instalation.

As for the rims they are lightweight 12.7lbs. and are 16", ive had my eyes on them for years and i was finally able to buy them for $1,000 from the original $1,600, due to a clearance at tirerack. They rim with tires weighs less than the original steelie with tire, so it turns it actually goes a bit faster.

That's sick man, I thought those were the rims I was looking at b4. I wish I could afford them.

I got the grille on ebay, the whole grille, it took a while and alot of emails to the seller for him to source one out. I was going to buy the sports grille from myautofashion.com, but $250.00 without shipping FORGET IT!! Of course as you know it comes straight from Japan and it fits perfectly without a problem. I didnt know it was the 06' IST emblem until a couple of you told me. I think it looks sweet and what i love most about it is the OEM look, it takes a keen eye to notice the difference. All my friends that know nothing about cars always give me the same reaction: "What did you do it??? It looks the same to me". But if you want one look for it on eBay i got mine shipped for $135.00, not bad, considering it comes from Japan and its a BRAND NEW, ORIGINAL toyota part.

^^^^ I was looking for the K-Style grille which was my top choice but after a year of searching i decided to buy the JDM grille instead. I was looking for something original and i found it. Then 2 weeks after i bought the JDM grille someone was selling their K-Style grille on eBay and someone else is now selling imitation K-Style grilles on eBay. But oh well im a happy person with my grille.
