haha sorry dude, next time PM me if anything

as far as the LED conversion...
basically pop the cover off
unclip (1) and unscrew (3) the light
at the connection base there is a black foamy thing...you will need to find a way to either remove or slightly peel or something so you can get to the clips underneath
once done, pop the clips and the base comes out to reveal the circuit board and and 3 LEDs
they are soldered on, just unsolder, replace and resolder.
then reinstall and viola!



i'm not sure what the LED type is because I just bought it off the guy who first realized how to do this. i found him on facebook so if your interested, hit me up there and i will direct you to him (link in signature). he can also do the whole thing for you, just send him your light and he will make it any color you want. he charges of course, but the prices are reasonable

Hey KidJustin, I'm running EBC green pads currently and they create break dust like no tomorrow. Just wondering if yours are doing the same.

The front lip makes the car look like there's way too much plastic on the body.

if I just said it, then it wouldn't be a surprised then would it?
...I got at least 2 more things lined up for sure. one very simple, one a little more complex.. here's a hint...the Shawn Baker tC2 has always been my inspiration

i'll be taking a trip to Hawaii for a car show at the end of the month. so depending on time, probably wont get to it/update you all until next month

Also, how did you get the filling for the plasti dip in on the letters for scion emblem on the rear?
