I like the back, but I think the front can go lower
No rubbing in the front YET.
. Im just glad we caught it before we had alot of blown fuses, grounds, and possibly frying a few things.Hey Curtis your ride height is perfect where it was when ya left. It looks so clean and aggresive. I love those wheels on your ride too. I just cant wait to see the finshed project of everyones rides.

I got the material on ebay.......good seller with good material....it was 9.99 a yard and 58"wide I bought 5 yards.
Went through 6 cans of spray adhesive at about $12 a can.
Took about 40 hours not including the removal and install.
To get the pieces out you pretty much have to remove everything from the back seats to the back of the car,everything.
I used the repair manual on Scion life and can forward the step by steps if needed.
On a scale of 1-10 on doing it
3 on removal of interior
8 on suede install.....to headliner
4-5 on the rest of the pieces.
The headliner has that bump out on the front where the dome light goes and it is nearly impossible to stretch the suede over it without wrinkles,bubbles,or cutting.I had to make a cut on the side but it is hidden by the visor.
The rest of the pieces are easy to do but time consuming as can be.......
total cost was about $200.

Hey Erik I think i am gna buy that intake from Nate. My intake temps with the stock airbox are like anywhere from 20-60 degrees above outside air temp. With the injen they were like 3 degrees above max. Plus my car is to quiet now. Just gotta make an adapter plate.
^do what ya gotta do...stoopid plastic trapping all that heat
Well we got a lot done this weekend...and last night. I will let those who did/had work done discuss at their discression but I took some stuff to paint today and awaiting a final price and delivery date on some new shoes...I have a bad feeling about ordering w/out having a price set beforehand....

My first fiberglass badgeless garnish should be arrivng any day now. When it does I will post pictures right away of the finished product (unpainted of course).
I am also aiming to have my DIY on painting interiors (with pictures....like all my other DIY's) done by Friday night...this Saturday night at the latest.
Shortly thereafter I will be posting a DIY on how to make a badgeless garnish. This will be for those of you that want badgeless garnishes and want to attempt to do it yourselves.
At this time there is a 5 - 5.5 week waiting period for individuals that want items painted. I have a list of individuals waiting for me to work on their items. Feel free to PM me if you have inquiries, but at this time I am not taking on anymore work until that list is done. The way I see it, take on 2 or 3 member's items, finish, ship, and then take on the next bunch.
