Naw, I'm not saying to have a body kit. I despise body kits. No one makes a clean classy one. The ones they do make are all rice. I'm talking about for your front fenders. I'm saying buy a wide body kit and only use the front fenders. And yes, they will be wide enough, because you can do the fab work yourself to get the most out of it. I was saying, the fab hours for someone to do them for you is going to be wayyy too much at $100 an hour. That link I gave you included all the wide bodies, with regular body kits peppered in. It wasn't for you to look at body kits, it was just for the wide body kits so you could see the fronts.

How you think semis do it for their exhaust. Just do that, and have it hinged on the front bumper side so wind doesn't pick it up.

A flapper? LMAO that would be pretty funny to see! When I used to make exhausts for Freightliner we drilled small holes in the bottom of the stack so that water could drain out. Its SOOO tight between the block and turbo. Not sure how id snake it downward. I feel like my only option is out the hood.

HOLY $#IT it's cold this morning... some updates...

Welp the brake issue is back. Searched this forum for over 2 hours yesterday trying to see if it is a common issue... here's the thread I found...
https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=190499

Im more than ____ed at the moment

, and concerned... just dropped over $200 bones last time I went in to get her looked over... the left front is keeping constant pressure on the pads and rotor.

The caliper was torn down, cleaned up, sliders lubed and the piston checked... nothing was or seemed wrong... im just hoping its something in the line maybe... or a crapped up rotor...

Back to the mech today... hopefully I can get her fixed once and for all...
