Wow...nice

 

[QUOTE=optional;3808855]HAHAH! I'll gladly accept credit for your awesome Looks sweet man!

Wheel specs?



there 17x9 et 17..running 205/40 in the front and 215/40 in the rear..on racelands as well..going to lower them when i get a free chance..and add probably a 10mm spacer to the rear..i should hopefully be sitting pretty good than..also how do you like the look of the raceland strut bar..? pretty much look like the trd minus the badge..? i believe you have one ?

 

We went out and got a few pic's last night...before the mall security asked us to leave.. our way of parking our rides weren't "allowed" at the mall... here's a few pics .. video of Pete to follow when I get home from work..

 

Man, I miss pete

 

Pete misses you

 

Yeah, it looks fine for me, and it fit right up, unfortunately for Cobija it wasn't cut right or something so his didn't mount up no matter how we tried to get it in there, so I guess your mileage may vary. He ended up getting the TRD one which should be here already, haven't talked to him in a few days.

But yeah, it's a front strut bar, they serve like 0 purpose on our cars other than looks anyway.

I wouldn't hate a better fitting wheel, but I love the way 18's fill it up compared to 17's, I just think 17's look tiny, and fitting an 18 gets pricey when you look at "legit" wheels (I don't really care, just there are a few I'd like and I'm gonna try for those first). Sigh. I've at least got the coils and the camber bolts and such, and I have new tires too, so an 18x9 or an 18x9.5 would be perfect for my 235/40's, it wouldn't be as insane as a lot of people, but 215 on 10" wheels scare me..

 

For those that like to do retros on headlights here is what I am going to be installing.....Kanchi.....I will probably need your guidance on baking the headlights.....

Now tell me that is not sweet.....BMW.....haaaaa....Yaris gots pretty eyes....

 

^well pete taught me so between the 2 of us....just remember 5 minutes in the oven @ 200° & check it. Heat gun helps as well

 

will that be legal? i thought headlights couldn't be colored....

 

pssh, it's a new age....legal or not. Seriously though, I'm not sure on the legality if headlight coloring. Plus, turbo's are illegal yet we still run them.

 

made a badgeless hatch garnish..just waiting for my black sand pearl paint now..and it may not look like its smooth and flush throughout but it is..first time ever doing one or working with bondo..fun project..

 

yeah but the cops will care more about discolored headlights then turbos. a turbo is in your engine compartment that is closed anyway. they would need a warrant to look in your engine bay and most of them don't care that much.
on the other hand, headlights are obviously illegal seeing how they are in the front of your vehicle for everyone to see. you will get pulled over for them because I'm pretty sure it is a primary moving violation

 

@ FuGativ3, you do raise some good points. I will say one thing though, "technically" tampering with the OEM headlights in any way is illegal....oh but I love my retrofit!!!

@ MooSE55, congrats on your project. I think doing your own garnish is the entry level body mod for beginners.

 

and for good measure a new pic of my exterior

 

HOLY CRAP!!! that is SEXY!!!!!!!

 

thanks for the kickback brotha!!! your the quickest learner i ever met man.

and the ones you did for tyler look like they should have come off or a transformer...lol that = awesome!

hey man if i were you i would install an extra set of backup lights for dot purposes before you seal them...so when your driving anywhere you may think youll get ticketed just flip the rocker switch so it turns those pretty lights white.

 

just a heads up you, if that is bondo you may want to save some time and re-do it now. The factory garnish is urethane so eventually the bondo/ body filler will seperate from the garnish. There is a urethane based body fill you can get at like Wesco, that will flex with the garnish that will last and not eventually crack like the bondo/regular body fillers eventually will do. Thats what I would do...

 

NEW WHEELS??

 

Indeed My friend! Indeed! I saw you rockin new wheels on your hotrod as well! Me Likey!!!

 

^with my next one ill do that kanchi..this ones clips are broke anyhow so figured id practice with this one and if it didnt work out than no biggie ill be replacing it anyhow..but heres an update..
